Week ahead: US non-farm payrolls, China factory PMI in focus
By Alexander Bueso
Date: Friday 26 May 2023
(Sharecast News) - All eyes over the coming holiday-shortened week would be on the ongoing debt ceiling talks and the latest non-farm payrolls report in the US.
According to the US Treasury, the government risked running out of cash to pay all of its obligations after 1 June and investors were likely to become even more antsy the more that negotiations came down to the wire.
On the jobs front, consensus was that on Friday the Department of Labor would report a slowdown in hiring from April's 220,000 person pace to 180,000 in May.
Ahead of that, on Wednesday survey compiler Caixin was to release its closely followed Purchasing Managers' Index for China in May.
Later the same day, investors would be digesting preliminary consumer price data for France, Germany and Italy covering that same month.
The US JOLTS report for job openings and quits covering the month of March would also be released on Wednesday.
Euro area-wide CPI numbers would be released on the next day, alongside UK consumer and mortgage lending figures for April..
The US Institute for Supply Management's factory PMI was also due to come out on Thursday.
