September Jobs Report, PCE Inflation, GDP A♚mong Anticipated Economic Releases This Week

Market watchers will have several important economic indicators to follow this week, including a highly-anticipated jobs report, updated inflation data, the first l♐ook at third-quarter GDP, and housing and manufacturing data. 

Investors will be examining the September jobs report on Friday, which comes as Fed officials have said they are 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:closely following the labor market for signs of weakness after a 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:strong performance in September. The key data point comes ahead of the central bank’s meeting on Nov. 6-7, where it could again lower interest rates. A weaker-than-expected labor report could prompt Fed officials to make 澳洲幸运5🐟官方开奖结果体彩网:steeper cuts than inve𒈔stors are anticipating. Reports on private-sector hiring and job openings earlier in the week could also influe🍸nce markets. 

The Thursday release of the PCE inflation report will show whether 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:inflation continued to trend lower in Septemܫber. Some Fed officials have said they are cautious about lowering rates too quickly before seeing inflation reach 🧸the Fed’s target of 2%.

The Wednesday release of the first estimate of third-quarter GDP is another 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:key piece of economic data. Several pieces of housing data are on tap, including pending home sales and updated housing price indexes, while manufacturing 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) surveys will shine a light on the🌜 performance of that sector. 

Federal Reserve officials will be in a b🐼lackout period 🎐this week ahead of the November meeting.
