The highlight of next week’s data releases is undoubtedly the U.S. nonfarm payrolls employment report to be released on Friday. The report includes three key figures: nonfarm payroll employment, the unemployment rate, and average hourly earnings. These data points are directly tied to the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate path and are crucial employment indicators ahead of the October policy meeting.

Wednesday 20:15: U.S. ADP Employment Change (September);
Wednesday 20:30: U.S. Core PCE Price Index (year-over-year, August);
Thursday 16:00: Remarks by Bank of England Governor Bailey;
Thursday 20:30: U.S. Initial Jobless Claims (for the week ending September 26);
Thursday 21:30: Remarks by ECB President Lagarde;
Friday 20:30: U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls report and the unemployment rate (September);

Federal Reserve officials will begin a series of public appearances starting from Wednesday morning. Chicago Fed President Goolsbee (2027 FOMC voting member) and St. Louis Fed President Musalem (2028 FOMC voting member) plan to give speeches, while New York Fed President Williams (2027 FOMC permanent voting member) will deliver a keynote address at the University at Buffalo. On Thursday, Fed Governor Cook, Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari, and Richmond Fed President Barkin will all give remarks; on Friday, Williams and Dallas Fed President Logan also have public events scheduled.
