Heards now turn to Fed speakers - TDS

Analysts at TD Securities explained that the US data calendar is fairly light next week, but heads will now turn to Fed speakers.

Key Quotes:

"The focus will be on remarks by Fed Vice-Chair Fischer and Governor Brainard, as the market looks for direction ahead of the mid-March FOMC meeting.

The tone of their remarks is likely to be relatively dovish, especially for Brainard, who is likely to continue emphasizing the need for caution.

However, both are also likely to underscore the continued progress in the US economy and labor market."
