This week is relatively less risk heavy, compared to the previous one. However, there are some key data such as the jobs report to watch out for.
What to watch for over the coming days:
- Central banks:
Federal Reserve will release minutes of meeting from the December meeting Wednesday. European Central Bank (ECB)will release its minutes on Thursday.
- PMI data:
PMI numbers from all around the globe will be published this week, including ones from China and these figures would say how the economy performed in the last month of 2016.
- NFP:
Non-farm payroll numbers are the most vital piece of economic data that will be released this week on Friday. It is one of the key data that would determine the number of hikes that the Fed would announce this year.
