Also, this week, inflation data from the UK, Australia, Mexico, Singapore, and Japan will be released. Inflationary pressures are expected to ease slightly. Quarterly US and UK GDP data will be released on Thursday and Friday, showing how the economy is doing during the tariff uncertainty. And, of course, traders should not forget about geopolitics: Ukraine and Russia, with the participation of the United States, are trying to move forward in negotiations, but the process is very difficult. There has also been an escalation of conflicts in the Middle East. All these factors affect investor sentiment and assets such as oil, gas, and European indices.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Monday, March 31<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">Monday is expected to be a relatively calm day. In the Asian session, traders are waiting for the business activity data from China, which may affect the movement of Asian indices, especially HK50 and AU200. At the European session, pay attention to the German inflation data. Consumer prices are expected to show 2.3% in annualized terms, the same as in the previous month.<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\r\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\r\n<li>\u2013 Japan Industrial Production (m\/m) at 02:50 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Japan Retail Sales (m\/m) at 02:50 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 China Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at 04:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 China Non-Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at 04:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 German Retail Sales (m\/m) at 09:00 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 German Consumer Price Index (m\/m) at 15:00 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Chicago PMI (m\/m) at 16:45 (GMT+3).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Tuesday, April 01<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">The main event on Tuesday will be the RBA monetary policy meeting. The RBA is expected to keep the rate at 4.1% but may hint at a cut in the second half of 2025, which could slightly impact AUD. Traders will also assess business data on key economies&#8217; manufacturing sectors. Most of the economies are still in contractionary territory, but the dynamics of recent months indicate progress. As a rule, the growth of this indicator is accompanied by the support of the national currency. In the Eurozone, the inflation report will be published, where further reduction of inflationary pressure is expected, increasing the probability of an ECB rate cut in June. This may put pressure on the EUR.<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\r\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\r\n<li>\u2013 Japan Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at 02:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Japan Tankan Large Manufacturers Index (q\/q) at 02:50 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Japan Tankan Large Non-Manufacturers Index (q\/q) at 02:50 (GMT+3)<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Japan Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at 03:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Australia RBA Interest Rate Decision (m\/m) at 06:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Australia RBA Monetary Policy Statement (m\/m) at 06:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Switzerland Retail Sales (m\/m) at 09:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Switzerland Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at 10:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 German Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at 10:55 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at 11:00 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 UK Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at 11:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Consumer Price Index (m\/m) at 12:00 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at 12:00 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone ECB President Lagarde Speaks at 15:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Canada Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at 16:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US ISM Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at 17:00 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US JOLTs Job Openings (m\/m) at 17:00 (GMT+3).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Wednesday, April 02<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">No major news is expected on Wednesday. In the US session, traders may pay attention to the private employment report from ADP and the data on crude oil inventories. In recent weeks, crude oil inventories in Cushing have decreased, supporting oil prices.<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\r\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\r\n<li>\u2013 US ADP Nonfarm Employment Change (m\/m) at 15:15 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Crude Oil Reserves (w\/w) at 17:30 (GMT+3).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Thursday, April 03<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">Thursday will bring various statistics for many countries. The most important report will be the Swiss inflation data. At the last meeting, the SNB cut the rate by 0.25%, confidently expecting a further decline in consumer prices. Traders should also pay attention to the US and Canada trade balance data. Also, on Thursday, OPEC+ countries will meet to discuss production quotas. If the cartel continues reducing production, it could put upward pressure on oil prices.<\/div>\r\n<div>Main events of the day:<\/div>\r\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\r\n<li>\u2013 Australia Services PMI (m\/m) at 01:00 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Australia Trade Balance (m\/m) at 03:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Japan Services PMI (m\/m) at 03:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Switzerland Consumer Price Index (m\/m) at 09:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 German Services (m\/m) PMI at 10:55 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Services (m\/m) PMI at 11:00 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 UK Services PMI (m\/m) at 11:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Producer Price Index (m\/m) at 12:00 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 OPEC Meeting (m\/m) at 12:15 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone ECB Monetary Policy Meeting Accounts at 14:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Canada Trade Balance (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Trade Balance (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Initial Jobless Claims (w\/w) at 15:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US ISM Services PMI (m\/m) at 17:00 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Natural Gas Storage (w\/w) at 17:30 (GMT+3).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Friday, April 04<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">Friday&#8217;s US jobs report will be in the spotlight. According to the March forecast, the economy added 139\u043a new jobs, the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.1%, and average hourly earnings growth is expected to hold at 4.1% y\/y. The dynamics of recent weeks indicate that the US labor market is slowly cooling down. March data could be a cold shower as it could dramatically increase the likelihood of a US Fed rate cut before the summer. Weak data will put downward pressure on the stock market.Along with the Nonfarm Payrolls report, Canadian labor market data will also be released. Economists expect employment to increase in March by 9.9k, better than 1.1k in February. The resilience of the labor market will positively impact the CAD. It\u2019s a bank holiday in China.<\/div>\r\n<div>Main events of the day:<\/div>\r\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\r\n<li>\u2013 Switzerland Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at 08:45 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Nonfarm Payrolls (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Canada Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Fed Chair Powell Speaks at 18:25 (GMT+3).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p class=\"ag-analytics_text\">by <span class=\"author vcard\"><span class=\"fn\">JustMarkets<\/span><\/span>, <span class=\"updated\">2025.03.24<\/span><\/p>\r\n<!--a href=\"\/analytics\/daily-forecast\" class=\"ag-analytics_link\">\r\nWe 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\/es\/register\/?sl=1\">Open Account<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week&#8217;s main events (March 31 \u2013 April 04) On the economic calendar, this week will be much calmer than the previous one, with Friday&#8217;s main event being the PCE core price index, the Fed&#8217;s favorite measure of inflation.
