What to Watch This Week: Key Events: This week markets remain on uneven footing as the fallout of the extended U.S. data blackout continues to blur the macro-view.

📌 Additional Factors to Monitor

• The recently-ended U.S. government shutdown has left data gaps and will continue to affect the timeliness and completeness of key economic releases.
• With limited fresh inflation prints, sentiment metrics (e.g., consumer surveys) and policy minutes (e.g., Fed) may have outsized market impact this week.

🧭 Under-Radar / High-Importance Signals Ahead

• Next Monday (Nov 24) overshadows this week: the Bank of Japan interest-rate decision is due. Market positioning this week may begin anticipating this outcome, especially in JPY crosses.
• The integrity of upcoming U.S. hard data — if further compromised — may prompt a market re-assessment of the macro outlook, heightening volatility around sentiment prints.

🔎 Key Themes for the Week

• Sentiment Over Prints: With headline data thin or delayed, markets may react more to survey-based and policy-minute disclosures than large print surprises.
• Policy Watch: Attention turns to how central banks interpret the data fog, rather than just the raw numbers — minutes and speeches gain prominence.
• Global Growth Check: Growth signals from Japan, Canada, and the Euro-area may act as the next trigger for risk-asset direction in absence of major U.S. inflation releases.
