If you’re trading the USD, here are the high-impact events to watch:
- Tuesday, Sep 2 - US ISM Manufacturing PMI (Aug) → Expected at 48.2; still in contraction. A weaker print may weigh on USD sentiment.
- Wednesday, Sep 3 - US JOLTs Job Openings (Jul) → Forecast 7.3M vs 7.437M; cooling labor demand could support Fed’s dovish tilt
- Thursday, Sep 4 - US ISM Services PMI (Aug) → Expected 49.8 vs 50.1 prior; services account for 70% of US economy, so a miss may pressure USD.
- Friday, Sep 5 - US Non-Farm Payrolls (Aug) → The week’s main event: a weak print may fuel Fed rate-cut bets.
- Friday, Sep 5 - US Unemployment Rate (Aug) → Forecast unchanged at 4.2%; a surprise higher would amplify dovish expectations
