Friday preview: US non-farm payrolls, Trade talk deadline, Amazon and Apple in focus
(Sharecast News) - The market spotlight at the end of the week will be squarely on the US jobs market. At 1230 BST, the Department of Labor is expected to announce that the pace of non-farm payroll growth slowed from 147,000 in June to 110,000 for July.
In parallel, the rate of unemployment is expected to have ticked higher by a tenth of a percentage point to 4.2%, whilst average hourly earnings were seen rising at a month-on-month clip of 0.3%.
Meanwhile, in the background, investors will be keeping an eye out for potentially market-moving headlines around the 1 August deadline set by the White House for reaching deals with many of its trade partners.
Also expected out of the US, at 1400 BST, the Institute for Supply Management is scheduled to release the results of its factory activity Purchasing Managers' Index for July.
The University of Michigan will publish its consumer confidence survey for that same month at the same hour.
On home shores, at 0600 BST Nationwide will release house price figures for July and S&P Global a final reading on its monthly factory PMI for the UK.
It will be preceded, overnight, by Caixin's China manufacturing PMI.
In the euro area, at 0900 BST Eurostat will provide a first look at harmonised CPI data for July.
Also on investors' radars, after Thursday's US market close, technology giants Amazon and Apple will update investors.
