Weekly Market Analysis: 28 March 2022

　　

What happened in the market last week?

• Last week, there was very little high-impact data released and not too many updates from the Russian and Ukrainian sides.
• CPI from the UK showed positive results, so the Bank of England will possibly raise interest rates further.
• The outcome of the NATO and G7 meeting is likely to discuss the EURO only after a few additions in the border countries around Ukraine.

What to focus on this week?

This week the focus is still on the latest updates between Russia and Ukraine, from the war side and the trade side, apart from the employment data from the US, which coincides with the first day of April, which is likely to be the starting point for movement in the monthly candle.

In other news, the GDP in Canada and Core PCE Price Index in USD will also influence market movements.
