Overview for the Week Ahead

Lawmakers in Washington reached a tentative agreement on the U.S. debt ceiling, thus removing the risk of a catastrophic default.

Trading and market liquidity in Asia will be lighter than usual, however, with U.S. and UK markets closed for holidays, opening the potential for outsized market moves.

In Turkey, the lira hovered at 20.04 against the dollar, just a touch above its record low of 20.06 hit on Friday, after President Tayyip Erdogan secured victory in the country’s presidential election, extending his increasingly authoritarian rule into a third decade.

In the week ahead, more U.S. economic data will be on tap, such as job openings and non-farm payrolls which could influence Fed’s thinking for the June decision. Economists polled by Reuters expect payrolls likely rose 195,000 in May, slowing from 253,000 the prior month.
