📈 WEEK OF TESTS FOR MARKETS: WHERE WILL DATA AND OPEC LEAD? 📉
Monday, February 3:
- First OPEC meeting in 2025 — we are waiting for signals on oil production quotas. Price spikes on Brent and WTI are possible.
- ISM PMI (manufacturing) — the index will show whether the US economy is slowing down. A value below 50 points — a red flag!
Tuesday, February 4:
- JOLTS (job openings) — indicator of labor market overheating. If the numbers are above forecast, the Fed may maintain a tight rate.
Wednesday, February 5:
- ADP employment — preview to Friday's NFP. An increase in jobs will strengthen the dollar.
Friday, February 7:
- January employment report (NFP) — the main trigger for stock and crypto markets. Forecast: +180K new jobs.
- Reporting from 20% of S&P 500 companies — Tesla, Meta, Amazon under scrutiny. Volatility is guaranteed!
Advice to investors:
- Oil: Long on growth if OPEC cuts production.
- Stocks: Lock in profits before NFP.
- Crypto: $BTC and $ETH may drop on strong employment data — prepare for a correction.
Question: Will the markets recover by Valentine's Day? 💣
