During the week ahead the market is likely to look towards a number of key market themes and events which have the potential to indicate financial market moves.<\/p>

The economic calendar is jammed packed with important events and releases this week. The RBA, FED and ECB rate decision headlines, alongside the release of the Non-farm payrolls job report and the ISM manufacturing report.<\/p>

FOMC Rate Decision<\/strong><\/p>

Most economists agree that the Fed is likely to raise interest rates by a further 25 basis points on Wednesday, though Fed chair Jay Powell will probably want to keep his options open.<\/p>

The key factor to watch will be how many rate hikes are left before the Fed feels that they are no long necessary to fight inflationary pressures.<\/p>

Should we see the Fed giving a node to more than 2 more rate hikes in the vicinity of 25 basis points then the US dollar<\/a> is likely to move higher and stocks<\/a> should falter.<\/p>

NFP JOBS<\/strong><\/p>

Last month he US economy added 236,000 jobs in March, in line with economists\u2019 expectations. The unemployment rate fell to 3.5%, down from 3.6% in February, while the participation rate rose to 62.6%, up from 62.5% in February.<\/p>

Current data from most analysts suggest that the United States economy created 180,000 jobs in April. This would be a very low number and would likely trigger a bearish reaction in the market.<\/p>

It may be difficult for the Fed to warrant raising rates if the headline number continues to creep lower or close to the neutral point.<\/p>

EU CPI + ECB interest rate decision <\/strong><\/p>

This week flash consumer price index (CPI) reading for April could help determine whether European policymakers decide to raise interest rates by 25 or 50 basis points.<\/p>

Currently, the risk is that the ECB could start to become more dovish on rate hikes given that producer prices have fallen, and month-on-month readings are now coming in negative.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
