This week, the most important macroeconomic reports attracting market attention will be US labor market reports. On Wednesday, the ADP report will be released, and on Friday, the NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls). Additionally, today will see the publication of PMI manufacturing reports from the US, Eurozone countries, and Canada.
Analyst expectations for PMI reports suggest lower readings in Eurozone countries, with reports expected to remain well below the 50-point threshold. Conversely, PMI and ISM readings from the US are expected to show improvement compared to the previous month (October).

Expectations point to an improvement in employment compared to October's readings, particularly in the case of the NFP. Employment change is expected to rise to 195k, a significant improvement from the previous month's 12k. However, the low figure in the previous month was reportedly influenced by one-time factors, such as hurricanes.
