The US Nonfarm Payrolls is the week\u2019s main event, as it is one of the most significant parameters for the Fed\u2019s monetary policy decision. Economists believe the labor market will add&#160;177,000 jobs, slowing from 216,000 in January. Traders should pay special attention to the interest rate decisions from the Bank of England&#160;(BoE) and the US Fed. Both central banks are expected to keep rates unchanged. Traders should also pay special attention to the inflation data in Europe and Australia &#8211; a slight decline is expected in both. Investors should also keep a close eye on the OPEC+ meeting, which significantly impacts oil pricing. Also, do not forget about the earning season in the United States. This week, companies such as Apple&#160;(AAPL), Alphabet&#160;(GOOG), Amazon&#160;(AMZN), Meta Platforms&#160;(META), and many others will report.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">\r\n    Monday, January&#160;29\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\r\nNo important news is expected on Monday, so the trading day will be relatively quiet.\r\n\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n<br>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">\r\n    Tuesday, January&#160;30\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\r\nThe US JOLTS job openings and consumer confidence data will be the main reports on Tuesday. These events will cause a spike in volatility. Also, traders should not overlook the preliminary GDP reports from Germany and the Eurozone. Both reports may show a contraction in the economy for the&#160;4th quarter, with Germany closer to a technical recession.\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n   <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">\r\n    Main events of the day:\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\r\n <li>\u2013 Japan Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at&#160;01:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Australia Retail Sales (m\/m) a&#160;02:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Switzerland KOF Leading Indicators (m\/m) at&#160;10:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Germany GDP (q\/q) at&#160;11:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone GDP (q\/q) at&#160;12:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US CB Consumer Confidence (m\/m) at&#160;17:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US JOLTs Job Openings (m\/m) at&#160;17:00&#160;(GMT+2).<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">\r\n    Wednesday, January&#160;31\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\r\nThe main event on Wednesday will be the Fed&#8217;s monetary policy meeting. The Fed is expected to leave interest rates unchanged on Wednesday. Investors will be closely watching Fed Chairman Jerome Powell&#8217;s press conference after the meeting to see how officials interpret the latest economic data.

In Australia, inflationary pressures are expected to ease slightly, while in Germany, economists forecast a slight rise in consumer prices.\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">\r\n    Main events of the day:\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\r\n<li>\u2013 Japan Retail Sales&#160;(m\/m)&#160;at&#160;01:50&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Australia Consumer Price Index&#160;(m\/m) at&#160;02:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 China Manufacturing PMI&#160;(m\/m)&#160;at&#160;03:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 China Non-Manufacturing PMI&#160;(m\/m)&#160;at 03:30 (GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 German Retail Sales at&#160;09:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 German Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at&#160;10:55&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 German Consumer Price Index (m\/m) at&#160;15:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US ADP Nonfarm Employment Change (m\/m) at&#160;15:15&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Canada GDP (m\/m) at&#160;15:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Chicago PMI (m\/m) at&#160;16:45&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Crude Oil Reserves (w\/w) at&#160;17:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US FOMC Statement at&#160;21:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Fed Interest Rate Decision at&#160;21:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US FOMC Press Conference at&#160;21:30&#160;(GMT+2).<\/li>\r\n\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">\r\n    Thursday, February&#160;01\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\r\nThursday, February 1\r\nOn Thursday, traders will mainly focus on the Interest Rate Decisions from the Bank of England. The Bank of England is expected to keep interest rates unchanged and indicate that rates should remain restrictive for an extended period of time. Traders should also pay attention to the Eurozone Consumer Price Index, where inflation is forecast to fall slightly. The OPEC+ meeting, which greatly impacts oil prices, should also be in focus. The volatility of WTI and BRENT prices could rise sharply. \r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">\r\n    Main events of the day:\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\r\n<li>\u2013 Japan Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at&#160;02:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Switzerland Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at&#160;10:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 German Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at&#160;10:55&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at&#160;11:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 OPEC+ meeting (m\/m) at&#160;12:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Consumer Price Index (m\/m) at&#160;12:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at&#160;12:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 UK BoE Interest Rate Decision at&#160;14:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 UK BoE Monetary Policy Statement at&#160;14:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Initial Jobless Claims (w\/w) at&#160;15:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013\u2013 Eurozone ECB President Lagarde Speaks at&#160;15:45&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Canada Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at&#160;16:45&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at&#160;16:45&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US ISM Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at&#160;17:00&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Natural Gas Storage (w\/w) at&#160;17:30&#160;(GMT+2).<\/li>\r\n\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">\r\n    Friday, February&#160;02\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\r\nThe most important Friday\u2019s release is Nonfarm Payrolls. This data can trigger increased volatility in the market, and this indicator is also taken into account by the Fed to adjust monetary policy. Weak data may suggest that high interest rates are finally starting to take their toll on the labor market, and better-than-expected employment numbers could bolster the case for the Central Bank to hold rates for as long as possible.\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">\r\n    Main events of the day:\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\r\n<li>\u2013 Australia Producer Price Index (m\/m) at&#160;02:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Nonfarm Payrolls (m\/m) at&#160;15:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at&#160;15:30&#160;(GMT+2);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Michigan Consumer Sentiment (m\/m) at&#160;17:00&#160;(GMT+2).<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"ag-analytics_text\">by <span class=\"author vcard\"><span class=\"fn\">JustMarkets<\/span><\/span>, <span class=\"updated\">2024.01.29<\/span><\/p>\r\n<!--a href=\"\/analytics\/daily-forecast\" class=\"ag-analytics_link\">\r\n          We advise you to get acquainted with the daily forecasts for the major currency pairs.\r\n        <\/a--> <a class=\"ag-base-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/secure.justmarkets.eu\/de\/register\/?sl=1\">Open Account<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week&#8217;s main events (January 29 &#8211; February 02) This week promises to be volatile due to a lot of important events.
