The focus is data on wholesale inflation in Germany for October. A new surge will test transition theory while ECB Governor Lagarde seeks to bring the status quo to the market. On monetary policy, ECB President Lagarde will also speak later in the afternoon. As of this writing, the euro is up\u00a0 0.01% to $1.1372.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pound:<\/strong> The economic calendar is having a busy day. This morning&#8217;s focus is the October retail sales of units. The pound is expected to have a strong impact following Wednesday&#8217;s inflation data.\u00a0 As of this writing, the pound is up 0.04% to reach $1.3499. The future of economic power is a quiet day. Economic data is limited to housing data and has little impact on the dollar. However, it is expected that the chatter of the FOMC members will also have an effect. FOMC members Waller and Clarida will perform today. The US Dollar Spot Index closed down 0.30% on Thursday at 95.544<\/p>\n<p><strong>Canadian Dollar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Residential and retail sales are in the spotlight, so you can have a busier day. Expect retail sales data to be key. However, apart from the economic calendar, we also expect crude oil prices to give direction.
