Summary:
- UK jobs report for October/November seems to be the most important release today
- Hungarian central bank is expected to stay on hold
- A bag of US data including housing market, industrial output and JOLTS
9:30 am GMT - UK jobs report for October/November: The British pound gained a lot in the run-up to the UK election held last week. However, it’s been punched this morning after the news that Johnson wants to guarantee the Brexit transition period won’t be extended beyond 2020, notwithstanding a trade deal hammered out with the EU. While this thread seems play a salient role, it’s worth looking at economic releases anyway. The consensus suggests average weekly earnings increased 3.4% YoY in three months through October, while earnings excluding bonuses rose 3.9% at the same time. Moreover, the unemployment rate is expected to have ticked up to 3.9% from 3.8%.
1:00 pm GMT - Hungarian rate decision: No one expects the Hungarian central bank will change rates at its final meeting this year even as headline inflation keeps hovering above 3% YoY, the central bank’s price objective. Either way, along with the meeting a new set of macroeconomic projections will also be unveiled and it may turn out key once it foretells inflation momentum won’t fade away utterly over the projection horizon.

In the case of housing data the consensus assumes a slight improvement to 1345k when it comes to housing starts and a minor deterioration to 1418k as for building permits. In turn, industrial output is expected to have risen 0.8% MoM in the past month, after falling as deep as 0.8% MoM in October, the worst reading since mid-2009. Last but not least, JOLTS or a number of vacancies to fill in the economy, is anticipated to have decreased in October to 7009k from 7024k previously. Although it’s a lagging indicator it could tell us a lot as far as employers’ hiring intentions are concerned.
