  • Fed Chair Powell Speaks. Powell’s comments on monetary policy, inflation, or interest rates could significantly influence markets.

  • JOLTS Job Openings (Apr) previous was 7.192M. No forecast provided, but a decline could indicate a cooling labor market, while an increase might suggest persistent demand for workers. ADP Nonfarm Employment Change (May) previous was 62K. No forecast, but this private-sector payroll data often sets the tone for Friday’s Nonfarm Payrolls report. Nonfarm Payrolls (May) forecast 130K, below the previous of 177K, indicating weaker-than-expected job growth, which might signal economic slowdown.

  • Average Hourly Earnings (MoM) (May) forecast 0.3%, above the previous of 0.2%, suggesting rising wages, which could contribute to inflationary pressures.

  • Unemployment Rate (May) forecast 4.2%, showing stability in the unemployment rate despite the weaker payrolls data.

  • Initial jobless claims will be announced. The previous was 240K. No forecast, but a lower number could signal labor market strength, while a higher number might raise concerns about economic slowdown. This weekly report tracks the number of new unemployment claims, serving as a leading indicator of labour market health. The Federal Reserve uses this as one of the key macro data references as it balances inflation and employment in the economy.

  • Crude Oil Inventories can be seen as forward indicators of market demand and consumption. This event tracks the weekly change in U.S. crude oil inventories, an oil supply and demand indicator that can impact oil prices and energy markets. If the trend of excess inventories continues, demand erosion can lead to reduced production & weakened consumer spending.

This week could see market volatility, particularly around Fed-related events and inflation data.
