• EURUSD highlights better progress but momentum on this pair reverts to rate forecasts
• With big-ticket catalysts and policy events next week - and the weekend ahead - big moves are unlikely

Not only is time running out before liquidity drains for the week, but we further have a heavy docket next week of risks and yield forecast catalysts - like NFPs, the ECB rate decision and Japan's tax hike. This major event risk can jump start major trends and curb development in the lead up to their release. We look at setups, event risk and timing the market offers in today's Trading Video.
