Economics Week Ahead
Wells Fargo previews the upcoming week's global economic data, led by an expected rebound in August U.S. nonfarm payrolls to 80K and an unemployment rate of 4.2%. Internationally, accelerating Eurozone CPI supports a September ECB rate hike, the Bank of Canada is expected to hold at 2.25%, and Q2 GDP prints are due for Australia, India, and Brazil.
In the upcoming week, market focus centers on the August U.S. employment report, where Wells Fargo forecasts nonfarm payroll growth to rebound to 80K, average hourly earnings to rise 0.3% MoM, and the unemployment rate to edge up to 4.2%, indicative of a gradual cooling rather than a sharp downturn. Internationally, Eurozone headline CPI is projected to accelerate to 3.4% YoY, bolstering expectations for a 25 bps ECB rate hike in September. Meanwhile, the Bank of Canada is expected to hold its policy rate at 2.25% amid balanced inflation and trade risks. In GDP releases, Australia is seen growing 1.9% YoY, India remaining strong at 7.5% YoY, and Brazil slowing to 0.5% QoQ, which could reinforce calls for a Q4 Selic rate cut.
