Economic Calendar – Services PMI, Jobless Claims And U.S. Trade Balance

The bubble of emotions that had been building with every minute of anticipation for “Liberation Day” and the announcement of retaliatory tariffs has finally burst. However, the end of the week will not be lacking in key data for the EU, U.S., and Canada, further moving the market.

In addition to a series of PMI reports for the services sector, we will also get foreign trade-related data, including the trade balance for the U.S. and Canada, as well as jobless claims, which will serve as the final preview of the labor market ahead of Friday’s NFP report.
