Additionally, inflation figures from the National Consumer Price Index (IPC) will provide insight into price trends in these regions.

Midweek attention turns to PMI data from multiple regions. On Wednesday, March 5, investors will monitor the Services PMI and Composite PMI—covering both manufacturing and services—for the Eurozone, United Kingdom, Brazil, and the United States.

Germany will release only its Composite PMI. These figures will gauge broader economic performance and market sentiment across key economies.

Thursday brings inflation data from São Paulo via the IPC report by Fundação Instituto de Pesquisas Econômicas (Fipe). In Europe, the European Central Bank (ECB) will announce its interest rate decision, a critical event for assessing monetary policy direction.

In the U.S., trade balance data will reveal import and export trends for goods, shedding light on global trade dynamics.

Friday concludes with a packed agenda. Brazil and China will release their trade balance reports, while Brazil’s GDP figures will offer a crucial update on economic growth. The Eurozone’s GDP data will also be closely watched.

In the U.S., all eyes will be on the non-farm payroll report, a pivotal indicator of employment trends and wage growth.

Compiled by the Federal Reserve, this report has far-reaching implications for global markets due to its influence on monetary policy decisions in the world’s largest economy.

This week’s data releases promise to shape market movements globally as investors digest updates across inflation, trade balances, GDP growth, and employment trends.
