US equity futures face renewed pressure amid escalating US-Iran strikes in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Bitcoin holds the $60,000 level despite mounting scrutiny over Strategy Inc’s $13 billion unrealised loss and funding model. In tech, SpaceX’s fast-tracked Nasdaq inclusion is poised to trigger massive passive inflows. Amid these shifting risks, traders now pivot to a critical week of labour and inflation data.<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brace for this week’s three key economic events:<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 US JOLTS Job Openings <\/strong>\u2013 16:00, Tuesday (CEST)<\/strong>
A key gauge of US labour demand. A reading showing fewer job openings will support the case for Federal Reserve rate cuts, driving immediate market reactions.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 EUR CPI <\/strong>\u2013 11:00, Wednesday (CEST)<\/strong>
A crucial inflation read for the Eurozone. Persistently high numbers will keep the European Central Bank hawkish, directly impacting EUR pairs and European equities.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 US Nonfarm Payrolls <\/strong>\u2013 14:30, Thursday (CEST)<\/strong>
The biggest macroeconomic event of the week. Strong job growth will fuel fears of an overheating economy and delay expected rate cuts, heavily dictating near-term risk sentiment and US dollar volatility.
