The month opens with a busy slate of data. Monday brings final manufacturing PMIs for the eurozone, UK, and US, plus the ISM Manufacturing PMI and price components. Tuesday sees the RBA rate decision, while Christine Lagarde’s remarks in Europe could move the euro. Midweek is heavy with final services PMIs, ADP employment data, and the ISM Services Index. Thursday features the Bank of England’s rate decision and UK jobless claims. Friday normally delivers the all-important US non-farm payrolls, unemployment rate, and wages, but these may be delayed or altered due to the US government shutdown.
Focus remains on UK growth, as well as US CPI readings. Tuesday brings UK employment figures, wage growth, and Germany’s ZEW sentiment survey. Thursday delivers UK GDP and preliminary Q3 growth, alongside US CPI and core CPI, which could be impacted by the shutdown if the Bureau of Labor Statistics cannot release on schedule. Friday’s US retail sales and PPI data may also face delays.
Week three is high-risk for both GBP and USD. Monday brings the Empire State Manufacturing Index. Tuesday features the UK Monetary Policy Report hearings, while Wednesday includes UK CPI and core CPI alongside the FOMC minutes, which may carry extra weight as market participants anticipate gaps in concurrent economic data. Thursday sees US jobless claims, the Philly Fed survey, and housing figures — though timing and reliability may be affected by the shutdown. Friday’s flash PMIs and UK retail sales remain scheduled.
The final week of November will bring the UK’s Autumn Budget into focus. Monday features the German ifo Business Survey. Tuesday includes G7 meetings and US consumer confidence, which may also face delays. Wednesday is packed with the RBNZ rate decision, US GDP, and durable goods data — but some USD releases could be postponed or partially suspended due to the government shutdown. Thursday marks Thanksgiving in the US, reducing liquidity further, and Sunday’s OPEC/JMMC meetings could still trigger moves in oil-linked currencies.
