On Sunday at 1940 GMT / 1440 US Eastern time

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell gives Baccalaureate remarks before the Princeton University Baccalaureate Ceremony, in Princeton, N.J

Given the venue and event, perhaps he won’t be making comments on his outlook for the economy nor monetary policy.

But, if he does, that time is well before markets open here in Asia.

1940 GMT / 1440 US Eastern time on Sunday is Monday morning in Asia:

6.40 am in New Zealand4.40 am in Sydney3.40 am in Tokyo2.40 am in Singapore/Hong Kong

There are always ‘weekend’ markets but these are devoid of wholesale interest, that won;t get active until New Zealand kicks off. Even then its super thin until Tokyo arrives.

ForexLive (me, in the case of Monday morning) will be on deck from 6am Sydney time. Ever since Trump took office, Monday mornings have become great again, usually with volatility from weekend news and comments and what you. Be sure to join us!
