The first full week of the year will see a pickup in economic data releases and trading volumes following Christmas and New Year’s holidays. US data will be headlined by a batch of labor market surveys including the BLS December jobs report, the JOLTS, and the ADP Employment Report. Other key insights will be unveiled with the ISM PMIs and Michigan consumer confidence survey. PMI results will also be featured in China with the broader RatingDog survey, followed by key inflation prints for Asia’s largest economy. In Europe, the spotlight will be on inflation rates for the Eurozone and its largest economies, in addition to their unemployment rates and major manufacturing gauges from Germany and Switzerland. Elsewhere, India will post its FY26 GDP and Canada will release its jobs aggregates.
