The global macroeconomic schedule for the European and North American sessions is relatively light following earlier significant releases. Markets have already digested the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision to hike interest rates—a move that defied forecasts from several investment banks that had expected the RBA to hold steady for longer. Meanwhile, inflation data out of France continues to surprise to the downside. French annual CPI slowed to just 0.3% year-on-year, missing the 0.6% consensus and cooling significantly from the previous 0.8%. On a monthly basis, prices fell by a sharp 0.3%.
The primary focus for market participants this week remains the operational paralysis in Washington. The ongoing US government shutdown has shuttered key federal agencies, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Consequently, the highly anticipated Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, originally slated for this Friday, has been officially delayed.
In the absence of top-tier US employment data, today’s agenda shifts to central bank rhetoric, private inventory data, and New Zealand’s labor market update. Investors also remain laser-focused on the corporate earnings cycle, with AMD set to report after the closing bell in New York.

AMD is expected to post revenue of $9.67bn, representing a 27% year-on-year increase. Should the company meet these targets, it would build on the momentum from Q3, where revenues beat the consensus by 5%. Consensus EPS stands at $1.32. Historically, AMD has a track record of moderate outperformance, beating revenue estimates by an average of just over 2% over the past eight quarters.
