Friday, January 03
On Friday, the US ISM Manufacturing data will be the most significant release for investors. This private report has more weight than the public report that will be released the day before. The reading is expected to remain below the 50 mark, indicating a contraction in the sector. This could have a negative impact on the US dollar. It is also recommended that the natural gas inventories data is not missed. The situation on the gas market is heating up as Ukraine plans to stop gas supplies to Europe from Russia starting January 1. If the EU countries do not cover the necessary deficit by that time, it may lead to a sharp jump in gas prices.

  • – US ISM Manufacturing PMI (m/m) at 17:00 (GMT+2);
