The Week Ahead: 2nd – 6th January 2023

Overview for the Week Ahead

The December jobs report and details from the Federal Reserve’s last policy meeting of 2022 will headline a short opening week of 2023 for investors as Wall Street limps into a new year after its worst run since the Global Financial Crisis.

U.S. stock and bond markets will be closed on Monday, January 2, in observance of New Year’s Day.

Economic data will pick up when traders return to a four-day trading week after a quiet end of December.

The Labour Department will publish its jobs report for December at 15.30 GMT+2 on Friday, and economists expect a payroll gain of 200,000 jobs last month, per Bloomberg consensus estimates.

Outside of the headline jobs data, three additional updates on the labour market will be on the docket for investors this week, with the latest Job Openings and Labour Turnover Survey (or JOLTS report), ADP’s private payrolls data, and the Challenger Job Cuts report all due out.

For Europe, next Friday, euro traders are on guard. The Core CPI Flash Estimate y/y is due during the European session.

Given the previous print of 5% and the increasingly hawkish ECB, it is time to see if inflation has peaked in Europe or not.
