The Week Ahead: 3rd – 7th July 2023

Overview for the Week Ahead

Swiss data on Monday will reveal if inflation slowed below the 2% ceiling targeted by the central bank.

A quiet week in the UK features little on the calendar other than an appearance by Bank of England official Catherine Mann on Friday.

Upcoming results for the US labour market are projected to show more moderate yet still healthy job growth, a historically low unemployment rate, cooler wage gains and fewer vacancies.

The jobs report will be front and centre in a holiday-shortened week, with economists forecasting non-farm payrolls increased by 225,000 in June. While still considered generally strong, it would be one of the smallest advances since the end of 2020.

Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, will be in the spotlight as reports show how the industrial machine that motors it fared in May.

Exports on Tuesday, factory orders on Thursday and industrial production on Friday may illustrate the extent to which a recession earlier this year still overhangs growth prospects.

With German inflation having re-accelerated in June, helping to drive an underlying measure higher in the wider euro region, European Central Bank officials are moving toward a rate increase in July that could well be followed up with further action.
