However, it should be taken into account that, due to the slowdown in the labor market in the economic power, markets are sensitive to recession risks. Therefore, if Powell emphasizes this aspect, risk demand could be affected.

In addition to Powell’s speech, it is key to take into account the manufacturing report from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) that will be published on Tuesday, October 1. These, along with US employment data and the consumer price index (CPI) in the euro zone that will be released on the same day, will offer signs of the state of the economy.

In addition to this, there will be more key points in the week in line with the state of employment. On Wednesday, October 2, data on non-agricultural employment will be released, on Thursday, the 3rd, the number of applications for unemployment benefits, and on Friday, the 4th, the labor market report for September.

Meanwhile, with the recent start to autumn in the northern hemisphere, a historically bullish season for markets, positive expectations are brewing. In fact, October has turned out to be the month that bitcoin closed higher the most times.

Therefore, it will be essential for economic development to accompany it, which is why the upcoming data in this regard becomes relevant.
