This week promises to be volatile due to a lot of important events. The US Nonfarm Payrolls is the week's main event, as it is one of the most essential parameters for the Fed's monetary policy decision. Economists believe the US employment report remains robust in May. The stronger the labor market, the more likely the US Federal Reserve will raise rates in June. The Eurozone will release its latest inflation estimate on Thursday, with economists expecting inflationary pressure to decrease. Investors should also keep a close eye on the CPI data in Australia, where there could be a surprise in the form of a new rise in inflation.

Wednesday, May 31
Wednesday will be full of economic events. Australia will publish inflation data. Analysts forecast an increase in inflationary pressures from 6.3% to 6.4% year-over-year. Volatility in currency pairs with the Australian dollar will increase. Germany and a number of other European countries will also publish their inflation data. Last week's data showed that Germany had entered a technical recession. Therefore, a rise in inflation will only exacerbate problems in the largest Eurozone economy.
Main events of the day:
Thursday, June 01
On Thursday, investors will keep a close eye on Eurozone consumer price data. Economists expect consumer inflation to fall from 7.0% to 6.3%. On Thursday, there will also be a lot of Manufacturing PMI data from different countries. Crude oil inventories should not be forgotten either, which have a significant impact on oil prices. Last week inventories showed a record drop in inventories, which led to a rise in the price of black gold.
Main events of the day:
Friday, June 02
The most essential Friday release is Nonfarm Payrolls. This data can trigger increased volatility in the market, and the Fed also considers this indicator to adjust monetary policy. Indications of continued strength in the labor market could add to bets on how aggressive the Fed may be in tightening monetary policy at the June meeting. It's a bank holiday in Singapore.
