– US non-farm payroll and inflation data are unusually concentrated in their release
Due to the recent 'brief shutdown' of the US government, the non-farm payroll data will be delayed until February 11. Next week, there will be the rare phenomenon of the US non-farm payroll report and CPI being released in close succession. As long as the data results are better than investors' concerns, they may help restore market confidence to counteract the recent panic selling wave.
The market currently expects January's non-farm payroll growth to be in the range of 60,000 to 80,000. A figure below this range would ignite discussions about rate cuts. The CPI data requires attention to seasonal price pressures at the beginning of the year. A combination of 'weak employment + strong inflation' would pose the greatest market risk.
Considering that Kevin Warsh has been nominated as the Fed Chair candidate by the Trump administration,The assessment of the Fed's dual mandate could undergo significant changes, making this moment particularly crucial.。
– China Financial and Inflation Data
China will release its January financial and inflation data. Caitong Securities forecasts a 0.4% YoY decline in January's CPI and a 1.5% YoY drop in PPI, while Zheshang Securities predicts a 0.6% YoY increase in CPI and a 1.8% YoY decrease in PPI.
In terms of financial data, the authenticity of the 'strong start' is being closely watched. Caitong Securities estimates new social financing for January at 7.38 trillion yuan, whereas Zheshang Securities offers a more conservative forecast of 6.9 trillion yuan in new social financing.
– US-Iran verbal sparring with US military carriers on high alert
On February 6 local time, Trump stated that the US had 'very good talks' with Iran and that Iran was 'very eager' to reach an agreement. He mentioned,Next week, the US will resume negotiations with Iran. He reiterated that Iran must not possess nuclear weapons. Trump also authorized his administration to impose tariffs on countries trading with Iran, but did not immediately impose any new tariffs.
However, the market anticipates that achieving a breakthrough in negotiations will be difficult due to fundamental differences between the two sides: the US demands a comprehensive agreement covering nuclear, missile, and regional activities, while Iran insists that talks focus solely on the nuclear issue, with lifting sanctions as their core demand.
No date has been set yet for the next round of nuclear negotiations.The oil market is closely watching the tensions in the Middle East for any signs of potential disruptions to crude supply.
