In the US, investors will focus on a block of labour market data, including the BLS December employment report, JOLTS and ADP statistics, as well as ISM business activity indices and consumer sentiment indicators from the University of Michigan. In Asia, the focus will shift to China, where PMI figures will be released as part of the expanded RatingDog survey, followed by key inflation data. In Europe, markets will assess inflation dynamics in the eurozone and the region&#8217;s largest economies, as well as unemployment and manufacturing activity indicators in Germany and Switzerland. Canadian employment data will also attract attention, adding to the overall picture of the global labor market.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Monday, January 05<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\n<p>On Monday, investors will be watching data on business activity across key economies. A value above 50.0 indicates industry expansion, while a value below indicates contraction. Therefore, the growth of the indicator is a positive factor for the national currency, while the decrease of this indicator usually negatively affects the exchange rate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\n<li>\u2013 Japan Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at 02:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; JPY (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 China RatingDog Services PMI (m\/m) at 03:45 (GMT+2); &#8211; CHA50, HK50 (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Switzerland Retail Sales (m\/m) at 08:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; CHF (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US ISM Manufacturing PMI (m\/m) at 17:00 (GMT+2). &#8211; USD (MED)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Tuesday, January 06<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\n<p>On Tuesday, traders will continue to assess data on service-sector business activity. It is worth responding to the same principle. In the US, the ISM report is likely to show another month of declining production and a slight slowdown in service sector activity, which could negatively affect the US dollar.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\n<li>\u2013 Australia Services PMI (m\/m) at 02:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; AUD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Services PMI (m\/m) at 11:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; EUR (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 UK Services PMI (m\/m) at 11:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; UK (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 German Consumer Price Index (m\/m) at 15:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; EUR (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Services PMI (m\/m) at 16:45 (GMT+2). &#8211; USD (MED)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Wednesday, January 07<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\n<p>On Wednesday, the most important release for investors will be the Australian Consumer Price Index. November price data is expected to show consumer inflation falling to 3.7% year-on-year. Volatility on currency pairs with the Australian dollar will increase. On Wednesday, two important reports on the US labor market will be released ahead of Friday&#8217;s main non-farm payrolls report. Strong data is expected, which could support the US dollar by reducing the likelihood of a rate cut in the first quarter of 2026. Also, traders should not miss the US Crude Oil Inventories data, which has a significant impact on oil prices. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\n<li>\u2013 Australia Consumer Price Index (m\/m) at 02:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; AUD (HIGH)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 German Retail Sales (m\/m) at 09:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; EUR (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Consumer Price Index (m\/m) at 12:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; EUR (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US ADP Non-Farm Employment Change (m\/m) at 15:15 (GMT+2); &#8211; USD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US ISM Services PMI (m\/m) at 17:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; USD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US JOLTs Job Openings (m\/m) at 17:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; USD (HIGH)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Canada Ivey PMI  (m\/m) at 17:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; CAD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Crude Oil Reserves (w\/w) at 17:30 (GMT+2). &#8211; WTI (HIGH)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Thursday, January 08<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\n<p>A wide variety of news is expected on Thursday. The main ones will be the Swiss inflation data. Consensus points to a small uptick in annual consumer price inflation to 0.1%. This is unlikely to affect the SNB&#8217;s interest rate probabilities, but volatility will definitely increase at the time of publication. Mexico will also release consumer price data. A slight increase is expected, which may provide an additional boost to the Mexican peso against the USD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\n<li>\u2013 Japan Average Cash Earnings (m\/m) at 01:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; JPY (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Sweden Inflation Rate (m\/m) at 09:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; SWE (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Switzerland Consumer Price Index (m\/m) at 09:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; CHF (HIGH)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Producer Price Index (m\/m) at 12:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; EUR (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at 12:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; EUR (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Mexican Inflation Rate (m\/m) at 14:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; MXN (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Canada Trade Balance (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; CAD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Trade Balance (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; USD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Initial Jobless Claims (w\/w) at 15:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; USD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Natural Gas Storage (w\/w) at 17:30 (GMT+2). &#8211; XNG (HIGH)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Friday, January 09<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">On Friday, all traders&#8217; attention will be focused on the monthly US Nonfarm Payrolls labor market report. The December employment report is expected to show nonfarm payrolls growing by about 57,000, down from November&#8217;s 64,000, while the unemployment rate is forecast to fall to 4.5% from a more than four-year high of 4.6%. Average hourly earnings are forecast to increase by 0.3% m\/m and 3.6% y\/y, indicating continued inflationary pressure caused by wage growth. A strong report will push back expectations of a rate cut in the first quarter of 2026, which could support the US dollar and put pressure on stock indices. In China, inflation figures are likely to show a decline in both consumer and producer prices. This will increase the likelihood of economic stimulus, which could support Asian indices.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\u2013 China Consumer Price Index (m\/m) at 03:30 (GMT+2);<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; CHA50, HK50 (MED)\u2013 China Producer Price Index (m\/m) at 03:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; CHA50, HK50 (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Norway Inflation Rate (m\/m) at 09:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; NOK (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Retail Sales (m\/m) at 12:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; EUR (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Canada Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; CAD (HIGH)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Non-Farm Payrolls (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; USD, XAU (HIGH)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Average Hourly Earnings (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; USD, XAU (HIGH)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; USD, XAU (HIGH)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Michigan Consumer Sentiment (m\/m) at 17:00 (GMT+2). &#8211; USD (MED)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ag-analytics_text\">by <span class=\"author vcard\"><span class=\"fn\">JustMarkets<\/span><\/span>, 2025.01.05<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ag-base-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/secure.justmarkets.eu\/it\/register\/?sl=1\">Open Account<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week&#8217;s main events (January 05 \u2013 January 09) In the first full week of the year after the holiday lull, markets are expected to see a noticeable upturn due to increased trading activity and a greater flow of macroeconomic publications.
