Australian jobs report: Thursday, 00:30. Australia’s jobs reports beat expectations in the past three reports, with an increase of 21.6K positions in December. The unemployment rate dropped to 5%, also an encouraging development. We will now receive the figures for January.

Euro-zone PMIs: Thursday morning: 8:15 for France, 8:30 for Germany, and 9:00 for all the euro-zone. Purchasing managers’ indices are forward-looking surveys and have become more important of late as concerns about a recession grow. The data PMI data may provide an early warning sign. Back in January, France had a Manufacturing PMI at 51.2 points, barely above the 50-point threshold that separates expansion from contraction. The services sector is already contracting according to Markit’s measure: 47.8 points. Germany had the opposite picture: contraction in manufacturing with 49.7 and expansion in services: 53. The euro-zone manufacturing PMI stood at 50.5 while the services PMI was 51.2.

US durable goods orders: Thursday, 13:30. The data have been delayed due to the government shutdown. Headline sales rose by 0.8% in November and an increase of the same scale is due for December. Core orders, which carry more weight, are projected to rise by 0.2% after a slide of 0.3% beforehand.

US existing home sales: Thursday, 15:00. The US housing sector is showing signs of slowing down. The annualized number of sales dropped to 4.99 million in December, extending the slump. The data for January is due now.
