Australian rate decision: Tuesday, 3:30. The Reserve Bank of Australia makes its first rate decision of the year after enjoying a summer vacation in January. The Canberra-based institution has not changed since mid-2016. Officials have said that the next move will likely be up rather than down, but they are firmly neutral. No change is expected now, but since the last meeting, the global picture has worsened. It will be interesting to hear the opinions of Phillip Lowe and his colleagues about Chinese demand, the stuttering housing sector, and the local job market, which is doing quite well. Any hints about changes in rates may impact the Aussie.

ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI: Tuesday, 15:00. The services sector report, like the manufacturing one, is published after the Non-Farm Payrolls and has its own time in the sun. The figure came out at 57.6 points in December, below expectations. The worsening global picture and the US government shutdown may drag it down this time. The indicator is a forward-looking one. A score of 57 is expected.
