Today’s macro calendar is relatively light, and none of the releases are likely to trigger a significant increase in market volatility. However, US jobless claims data have the highest potential to do so, as they may be interpreted as a sign of continued resilience in the US economy (which could support yields and the dollar, while increasing inflationary risk). In addition, we will see sentiment data from major European economies and hear comments from Fed member Stephen Miran on inflation risks. His remarks may serve as a kind of “litmus test” for the stance of Kevin Warsh, who is expected to take over leadership after Jerome Powell.
