Economic Calendar: US labor market reports and Fed decision this week 🧭

Today, investors will see several interesting publications from European Union member countries. Inflation reports for April from countries such as Spain and Germany are on the calendar. The consensus points to readings roughly in line with the previous month. In the second half of the day, investor attention will shift across the Atlantic. No significant events are scheduled on the macro calendar, but a few intriguing quarterly reports will be released in the corporate sector. Before the session, Domino's Pizza will publish its results, and after the session, the releases are scheduled for Microstrategy and Paramount Global.

More important events await investors later in the week. Several key reports from the US will be released, including ADP and NFP labor market reports and an ISM report. Mid-week, on Wednesday, May 1, the Fed meeting will also conclude with an announcement on interest rates. Although the decision itself is likely expected (no change in interest rates), Jerome Powell's speech may provide more information about the perspective for the upcoming months.
