Economic calendar: Canadian labor market data 📈🔎

Today’s macroeconomic calendar is exceptionally light following an exhaustive and eventful week. The only noteworthy release is the Canadian labor market report, though it is not expected to have any significant impact on global financial markets.

Later in the day, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President Alberto Musalem will deliver a speech titled “Financial Prosperity in the Mississippi Delta: A Conversation on Banking, Credit, and Small Businesses.” It appears unlikely that the Fed official will provide substantial insight into his outlook on monetary policy.
