Weekly Global Economic Preview: US jobs report and shutdown concerns set the global tone

Global markets face a pivotal week led by the US employment report, which will be closely tracked alongside ADP payrolls, JOLTS openings, Challenger job cuts, and ISM surveys, while the risk of a government shutdown casts a political shadow over sentiment. In Europe, preliminary inflation prints across the Eurozone and its major members take center stage, complemented by labor updates, retail sales, industrial production, and the UK?s mix of GDP revisions, housing indicators, and Chancellor Rachel Reeves? political address. In Asia, China?s official and private PMIs will test growth momentum ahead of the Golden Week holiday, while Japan?s Tankan survey and industrial releases offer a measure of corporate confidence. Central bank decisions in Australia and India are expected to hold steady, while regional trade and inflation updates from South Korea, Indonesia, and the Philippines add to a packed global calendar that will guide risk appetite through the week.
