6. US ADP Nonfarm Employment Change (Oct) (12:15 UTC):
   Private sector employment change. Forecast: 101K, Previous: 143K. Lower employment growth would suggest a cooling labor market, which could impact the Fed’s rate outlook.
7. US Core PCE Prices (Q3) (12:30 UTC):
   Tracks changes in the core personal consumption expenditures index. Previous: 2.8%. Core PCE is a key inflation measure watched by the Fed.

9. US GDP Price Index (QoQ) (Q3) (12:30 UTC):

12. Cushing Crude Oil Inventories (14:30 UTC):

13. ECB’s Schnabel Speaks (15:00 UTC):

14. Japan Industrial Production (MoM) (Sep) (23:50 UTC):
    Measures monthly change in industrial output. Forecast: 0.9%, Previous: -3.3%. Growth in production would indicate recovery in Japan’s manufacturing sector.

Market Impact Analysis

• Australia CPI Data (YoY, QoQ, Trimmed Mean):
  Lower-than-expected inflation would support a dovish stance from the RBA, potentially weakening the AUD. Higher inflation figures would increase pressure on the RBA for tightening, supporting the AUD.
• Eurozone GDP Data (YoY and QoQ):
  Higher-than-expected GDP growth would support the EUR, signaling economic resilience. Weak growth may weigh on the EUR as it suggests slower economic momentum.
• US ADP Nonfarm Employment Change:
  A slowdown in job creation could signal a weakening labor market, potentially softening the USD as it suggests lower Fed rate hike probabilities. Strong employment growth would support the USD.
• US Core PCE Prices and GDP Data:
  Higher core PCE and GDP growth would support the USD, reflecting both economic resilience and inflationary pressures. Lower inflation figures would reduce the likelihood of further Fed rate hikes, potentially weakening the USD.
• US Crude Oil Inventories:
  A larger-than-expected build in oil inventories would indicate weaker demand, potentially putting downward pressure on oil prices. A drawdown would suggest stronger demand, supporting prices.
• Japan Industrial Production:
  Positive growth in industrial production would support the JPY by signaling recovery in Japan’s manufacturing sector, while weaker data could weigh on the currency.

Overall Impact

Volatility:
High, with focus on inflation data from Australia, GDP figures from the Eurozone and US, and US employment data. Energy markets will also be sensitive to inventory changes.

Impact Score: 8/10, due to key data releases that will shape central bank policy expectations and market sentiment on economic growth and inflation across major economies.
