We have a number of key data releases out next week around the world, not to forget any further news on the referendum that may throw a little into the mix.
The real key focus for anyone looking to buy or sell Euros will be the European Central Bank interest rate decision and press conference due out on Thursday afternoon. Investors will be looking for any change in fiscal policy and also just as importantly any indications on future decisions.
