It’s the North American employment report Friday, so let’s take a closer look with the Dukascopy Economic Calendar.
German Industrial Production stats for May open this agenda at 6 o’clock in the morning. Production slowed down again in April after jumping by 1.7% in March.
UK Halifax House Price Index for June is up next at 7:30 AM. Prices showed a monthly gain of 1 and a half percent in May and this comes after a drop of 3.1% in April.
Then it’s the high importance US Employment Report for June at a half past noon GMT with the key NFP numbers. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 223 thousand in May, and the unemployment rate edged down to 3.8 percent. Employment continued
to trend up in several industries, including retail trade, health care, and construction.
US trade numbers for May will be available at the same time. Deficit narrowed down once again in April to 46.2 billion US Dollars, which is the lowest level since late 2017.
The high importance Canadian Labour Force Survey for June is also out at a half past noon. Employment was little changed in May, and the unemployment rate was 5.8% for the fourth consecutive month.
Canadian Trade Balance for May is the final report scheduled for publication at 12:30 PM. Canada’s exports rose 1.6%, while imports were down 2.5% and as a result, merchandise trade deficit with the world narrowed from 3.9 billion in March to 1.9 billion in April.
Canadian Ivey PMI for June is the final item for this calendar at 2 PM. The index remained well above the 50 level in May, but it has retreated from the high of 71.5, which was posted in April.
That’s all for Friday’s Economic Calendar, but do click back once again for Monday’s report. Bye for now.
