The week ahead – Jobs report a key test for markets

27 April 2025

It’s a big week for economic data releases in the US, with the jobs report due on Friday, the ISM manufacturing index and core PCE inflation report ahead of that, as well as the preliminary GDP reading for the March quarter.

Here in New Zealand, we’ll be watching the latest monthly ANZ Business Outlook survey for any signs of nervousness about the global trade situation, as well as inflation indicators.

It’ll be a very busy week for global earnings releases, with 180 S&P 500 companies due to report.

This will include four of the “Magnificent 7” with Meta and Microsoft reporting on Wednesday, and Amazon and Apple to follow on Thursday.

We’ll also hear from Coca-Cola, Visa, Caterpillar, CVS Health and Eli Lilly.
