Upcoming US Economic Data:
Investors are keenly awaiting crucial US economic data, including the PMI reports for manufacturing and services sectors, and the JOLTS Job Openings on Tuesday. Additionally, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change and Unemployment Claims data on Wednesday will provide insights into the health of the US labor market.
The highly anticipated Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report on Friday will be pivotal, offering a comprehensive view of employment trends and potentially driving significant market movements. Given the mixed performance of the Final Manufacturing PMI in past announcements, there is a possibility of market volatility based on these results.
FOMC Meeting Minutes:
The release of the FOMC meeting minutes on Wednesday evening will be closely watched for any indications of future interest rate movements. The market is eager to gauge the Fed’s stance on monetary policy, particularly in the context of ongoing inflationary pressures and labor market conditions.
Canadian Labor Market Data:
Canada’s Employment Change and Unemployment Rate figures, scheduled for release on Friday, will be crucial in assessing the health of the Canadian labor market. Strong data could bolster the CAD, while weaker figures might weigh on the currency.
European Inflation and Central Bank Decisions:
In Europe, the Core CPI Flash Estimate is forecasted to rise to 2.9% on Tuesday, maintaining the narrative of persistent inflation. ECB President Lagarde’s speeches throughout the week will be crucial in understanding the ECB’s approach to tackling inflation and its impact on EUR pairs. Additionally, the German Prelim CPI m/m will provide further insights into inflation trends in the Eurozone’s largest economy.

Market Insights: Key Charts to Watch
DXA (US Dollar Index) Daily Chart:
The US Dollar Index (DXA) exhibits a bullish outlook, supported by strong US economic data and a hawkish Federal Reserve. The index remains above the critical level of 105.540, above both the 100-day and 34-day moving averages and sustained by a six-month uptrend line.
Impact of Upcoming Events:
The degree of NFP surprise (the difference between actual and forecasted figures) plays a crucial role. Larger surprises lead to greater volatility in the USD Index. For example, when the NFP surprise is outside the range of +35K to -55K jobs, the USD Index’s daily trading range exceeds its 20-day average trading range (ATR) 69% of the time. Better than expected economic data and strong employment data could reinforce the bullish momentum, while weaker data might introduce volatility.
Key Levels:
Bullish Target: Solidifying above 105.687, targeting 105.874 and 106.080.
Bearish Risk: If the index falls below 105.540, watch for support at 105.334. The uptrend remains valid as long as the index stays above 105.
US30 (Dow Jones Industrial Average) Daily Chart:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (US30) has maintained its bullish tone after rebounding from the low at 38986.65, above the 34-day moving average.
Impact of Upcoming Events:
The series of US economic reports, especially the PMI data and Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), will be crucial in determining the market sentiment for US equities.
Recent economic data, such as employment numbers and consumer spending, has been favorable. This supports the expectation of continued growth in the stock market. The performance of key sectors within the Dow, such as technology and industrials, has been strong. These sectors have a significant impact on the overall index. Investor sentiment and market momentum are also positive. This is reflected in the steady buying pressure and reduced volatility. Positive data could sustain the bullish trend, while disappointing numbers might trigger a correction.
Key Levels:
Bullish Target: Breaching 39405.87 could lead to further gains towards 39665.00, with potential targets at 39849.51 and 40084.20.
Bearish Risk: Defending the resistance at 39405.87 could push the index back to 38986.65. A break below this support exposes the next level at 38796.50.
