Week commencing 29 November

Chris Beauchamp’s insight

Key events this week include Chinese PMIs and the monthly US ADP and NFP job reports. An OPEC meeting will also be worth monitoring for any potential impact on the oil price. It is a sparse earnings calendar overall, and with the new Covid variant from South Africa causing major concern it may be that all other data points are pushed into the background as markets attempt to price in the potential for a widespread return of restrictions and a likely hit to economic growth.
