Economic Calendar: European Unemployment, Inflation Data, and Central Bank Speeches in Focus

9:02 am 2 October 2024

Today's economic calendar is packed with significant data releases and central bank speeches, particularly from Europe. Key highlights include Spanish unemployment data, inflation figures from Brazil, and multiple speeches from European Central Bank (ECB) officials. The day also features important economic indicators from Germany and the U.S., including the German 10-Year Bund Auction and ADP Nonfarm Employment Change. Additionally, an OPEC meeting and crude oil inventory data will be closely watched by market participants. The mix of employment, inflation, and central bank communication will provide crucial insights into the current economic landscape and potential policy directions. It's worth noting that China and India are observing holidays today, with China celebrating National Day and India commemorating Mahatma Gandhi Jayanthi. This may impact market activity in these regions.
