 ECB rate decision: Thursday, 11:45, press conference at 12:30. Will the ECB announce QE tapering? And what will the scale be? These are open questions that keep EUR/USD on the edge. We know that the central bank will make a decision in the fall, according to what ECB President Mario Draghi said in the previous decision. The bond-buying scheme currently consists of 60 billion euros per month until the end of 2017 and the big question is for the future of the program in early 2018. Will they make another reduction of 20 billion but continue the program for longer? Or will they reduce the scale on a monthly basis and end it soon? The ECB could also delay the decision to the October meeting, but making a decision now makes more sense. The ECB releases new forecasts for inflation and growth right now and they usually make decisions around the decisions that include new forecasts. EUR/USD is holding its breath. 

Japanese GDP (final): Thursday, 23:50. Japan’s preliminary publication of Q2 GDP came out much better than expected: a quarterly growth rate of 1%. Will it be downgraded this time? Japanese GDP reads see significant revisions. A downgrade to 0.7% is projected.
