(ABM FN) Next week will be another busy period for investors. The flow of figures from companies continues and there are also purchasing managers indices and interest rate decisions on the agenda.

On Monday, we’ll get industrial purchasing managers’ indices from Japan, China, many European countries, the Eurozone and the United States. The same series of countries is also on the agenda for Wednesday, but then it will be for the service sectors.

We will also receive a European unemployment figure on Monday. Tuesday we see the American vacancies pass. The US official jobs figure is scheduled for Friday. For the second and final time, the ADP jobs report, traditionally published Wednesday before official figures, has been skipped due to a revision of its methodology.

In addition to European producer prices, which are rising very high, an interest rate decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia is also scheduled for Tuesday. Thursday is the turn of the Bank of England. These central banks are also under high inflationary pressure and must consider tightening monetary policy.

Just last week, the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates again by 75 basis points. Just a week earlier, the European Central Bank’s first rate hike in 11 years saw interest rates hiked by 50 basis points.

By the way, we will see a Turkish inflation figure pass on Wednesday and our northern neighbors in the Netherlands will follow on Thursday.

Germany will put its trade balance online on Wednesday, the United States will do so on Thursday.

On Friday we will receive industrial production figures from the two largest European economies, Germany and France.

European industry is suffering from high energy prices. Russia exports a lot less gas and Germany in particular suffers a lot from this. Oil prices are also still very high. These could be set in motion in the context of Wednesday’s OPEC+ meeting.

Number season

In our own country we also get to see quite a few figures. The first half of the week will remain extremely quiet, but on Thursday we expect reports from ING, Euronav, Bpost, Intervest Offices & Warehouses and Galapagos in the evening after the close on Wall Street. On Friday we will close the week with Xior and Aedifica.

Abroad, the coming days will be very busy. Heineken is still quite lonely on the agenda in Amsterdam on Monday, but on Tuesday there will be results from Covestro, Caterpillar, Dupont, AMD, Gilead, Starbucks and Uber. Covestro already issued a profit warning last Friday.

Wednesday is an important day for the German stock exchange with results from BMW, Commerzbank, Infineon and Siemens Healthineers. In addition, there are figures from the French Société Générale and in America from Moderna and eBay.

On Thursday, Adidas, Bayer, Beiersdorf and Zalando will also open the books in Germany. Also on the agenda are Credit Agricole, Zalando, Eli Lilly, Nikola, AMC Entertainment, Beyond Meat, GoPro and Lyft. Friday we close the week with Allianz and Deutsch Post.
