Mon Aug 29 US Open tennis tournament starts in NYC. | Tue Aug 30 Markets are closed in London due to the UK’s summer bank holiday. | Wed Aug 31 Three-day Nord Stream pipeline shutdown. | Fri Sep 2 US employment report for August. UK leadership ballot closes.


After a blowout US jobs report for July, investors will get a fresh look at the nation’s labor market on Friday. Continuing strength may temper recession worries and allow the Federal Reserve to press on with steep interest-rate hikes. The monthly payrolls report is expected to show a gain of 300,000 jobs for August, while the unemployment rate is seen holding at 3.5%, matching a five-decade low.


On Wednesday, the euro zone reports inflation data for August. Consumer prices jumped 8.9% from a year earlier in July, overshooting expectations and climbing to another all-time high.


Several big Chinese banks report earnings in the coming week, and all eyes will be on any impact from the country’s property crisis and mortgage-payment boycott. The results come as some lenders employ practices to inflate loan volumes as they struggle to meet government demands to pump more credit into the system.


All times are Eastern and subject to change.
