WEEK AHEAD: Non-farm Payrolls, Bank of England & All Eyes on China

Prepare for trading markets over the next five days with the FlowBank Week ahead report:

Jobs will be in focus in the upcoming week as investors will take in data including ADP employment and nonfarm payrolls for the month of July. Additionally, investors will keep a close eye on the latest developments on infrastructure talks over the $1 trillion plan. And a slew of companies will also report earnings including CVS Health, Moderna and General Motors to name a few.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the July employment report on the morning of Friday, Aug. 6. It’s expected to show 788,000 nonfarm payrolls, down from 850,000 in June, according to Dow Jones. The unemployment rate is expected to dip to 5.7% from 5.9%. Average hourly wages are expected to rise 3.9% year over year.

The Bank of England looks set to keep its stimulus running at full speed next week despite two policymakers breaking ranks to suggest that its nearly 900 billion pound ($1.2 trillion) bond-buying scheme might have to end early as inflation speeds up. Britain's economy is rebounding quickly from its almost 10% crash of 2020, when the country suffered a higher COVID-19 death toll and longer lockdowns than most other nations.

China was also a dominant market story in the past week and could continue to be. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 5% for the week. Chinese regulators continued their crackdown on internet companies, publicly traded education companies and other industries. Strategists say Beijing is trying to reclaim its biggest companies as its own and turn them away from listings in foreign markets.
