In addition to the already eventful week, the 2018 World Cup starts on 14 June, causing enough excitement among the general population. And in preparation for next week, all you CAD and oil traders can also start watching for updates on next week’s OPEC meeting, which is bound to cause many comments and bustle among traders alike.
These ongoing events may cause disruption in the usual trading routines you’re accustomed to. During this time, it’s essential to look out for the daily shifts and prepare yourself so as to not be completely thrown off by any changes you weren’t expecting. Flexibility is always a key characteristic for traders, and this is the perfect opportunity to practice it. Rather than let these events distract you, bear in mind that it’s the nature of the week and once the events have passed by, things will probably go back to some level of normalcy.
It’s especially important not to let the results of each event trouble you before the week is over. Wait until you can look at all the outcomes and reach a rational conclusion of the likely effects with a broader perspective. The list of central bank meetings and conclusions, economic data releases and political issues being addressed is going to make for one very interesting and unpredictable week in the stock market and the trading industry. However, many of these changes will not last much further than the week’s disruptions and shouldn’t affect your trades too significantly.
For those who are up for the challenge of trading among the chaos, try to prepare yourself – the changes could be multifarious and voluminous! It will also do you well to keep track of your moves throughout the week for future reference. For those of you who prefer to sit this week out, it will be beneficial for your own strategies to observe the goings on carefully and learn from the mistakes and successes of others.
