Key central bank rate updates are expected globally, along with numerous data releases that will keep traders alert. With global stock indices still at record levels, significant market movements are anticipated this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the geopolitical front, Euro traders will be closely monitoring any updates from France regarding their upcoming snap election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is our day-by-day breakdown of major risk events for the week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Monday.png?_ga=2.167750526.112024774.1710104946-770659250.1695621238\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"82\" height=\"26\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Monday.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67655\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The week starts quietly, with initial focus on Chinese markets and the release of several data points, including Industrial Production and Retail Sales. The European session is light on major events, but discussions about the French election will likely dominate. In the US session, the Empire State Manufacturing Index data is scheduled for release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Tuesday.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"84\" height=\"26\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Tuesday.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67656\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The focus shifts to Australian markets with the RBA&#8217;s latest rate decision.
