Week 10 Exness economic calendar report 2025
By Paul Reid
This week brings inflation reports and employment data, both with the potential to reshape market dynamics. Whether it's the US construction spending, Eurozone CPI, or Australian GDP, each event offers a chance to refine your investment strategies and capitalize on emerging trends.
Monday, March 3, 2025
US Construction Spending and ISM Manufacturing PMI
At 10:00 AM ET (15:00 GMT) on Monday, March 3, 2025, the US construction spending and ISM Manufacturing PMI will be released. These reports are expected to show modest growth, potentially boosting US stocks, particularly in construction and manufacturing sectors, and strengthening the US dollar. This could lead to increased demand for US assets, benefiting stocks like Boeing. Some analysts speculate that certain large-scale construction projects might be influenced by government initiatives aimed at stimulating economic growth, potentially leading to an unexpected surge in construction spending. This could be part of a broader strategy to bolster the US economy ahead of key political events.
Eurozone CPI
At 5:00 AM ET (10:00 GMT) on Monday, the Eurozone CPI will also be closely watched. Higher inflation could lead to a stronger euro due to potential interest rate hikes by the European Central Bank (ECB). This might make European exports more expensive, negatively impacting stocks with significant export exposure. There are whispers among some market insiders about potential behind-the-scenes negotiations between European leaders to stabilize inflation through coordinated economic policies, which could influence ECB decisions and impact the euro's value.
Japan Unemployment Rate
At 18:30 JST (09:30 GMT) on Monday, Japan's unemployment rate for January 2025 will be released. The unemployment rate in Japan decreased to 2.40% in December from 2.50% in November 2024. This rate is lower than the long-term average of 2.72% and reflects a stable labor market. A decrease in unemployment could support the yen by indicating a strong labor market, potentially leading to higher interest rates. This could attract foreign investors, boosting Japanese stocks and bonds. Some speculate that Japan's economic stability might be influenced by strategic investments from foreign entities, aiming to bolster the yen and increase Japan's global economic influence.
Tuesday, March 4, 2025
Eurozone Unemployment Rate
At 5:00 AM ET (10:00 GMT) on Tuesday, the eurozone unemployment rate for January 2025 will be released. A decrease in unemployment could strengthen the euro by signaling economic resilience. This might lead to increased investment in European stocks, particularly those in sectors benefiting from consumer spending. Rumors suggest that certain European governments might be implementing discreet measures to reduce unemployment, such as targeted job creation programs, which could positively impact the eurozone's economic outlook.
RBA Meeting Minutes
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) meeting minutes are typically released early in the morning Australian time, which would be around 00:30 GMT on Monday, March 3, 2025. However, if there are any updates or additional insights related to the RBA on Tuesday, they would be covered under other sections. If the minutes suggest a hawkish stance, the Australian dollar could appreciate due to potential interest rate hikes. This could make Australian exports more expensive, potentially impacting stocks in export-oriented sectors. Some speculate that the RBA might be under pressure from international partners to maintain a stable monetary policy, potentially influencing their decision-making process.
Wednesday, March 5, 2025
ADP Nonfarm Employment Change and ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI
At 8:15 AM ET (13:15 GMT) on Wednesday, the ADP Nonfarm Employment Change will be released, followed by the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI at 10:00 AM ET (15:00 GMT). These reports will gauge broader economic performance across key economies. Strong employment numbers and a robust service sector PMI could significantly boost US stocks, particularly in sectors like technology and finance. This could also strengthen the US dollar, making it more attractive for foreign investors. There are theories that certain large corporations might be manipulating employment figures to influence market sentiment and boost stock prices, which could lead to unexpected market movements.
Australia GDP
At 8:30 PM AEDT (09:30 GMT) on Wednesday, Australia's GDP growth for the fourth quarter of 2024 will be reported. A strong GDP growth figure could support the Australian dollar and Australian stocks, particularly those in sectors benefiting from domestic consumption. Some speculate that Australia's economic growth might be influenced by strategic investments in key sectors, potentially driven by foreign investors seeking to diversify their portfolios.
As the week progresses, global economic trends will continue to shape market sentiment. The global economic outlook suggests that headline inflation is expected to decrease in 2025, which could influence central bank decisions. However, mixed sentiment in financial markets due to political uncertainty in some regions could lead to increased volatility around economic releases. There are rumors of a global economic reset, where major economies might coordinate policies to stabilize markets and prevent economic downturns, potentially leading to a new era of economic cooperation.
