From the Eurozone's preliminary inflation figures and the manufacturing PMIs of China and the US, to the important US ADP nonfarm payrolls and nonfarm payrolls data, each core indicator will directly affect global monetary policy expectations and influence fluctuations in the stock market, foreign exchange market, and commodities.
With multiple variables intertwined, structural opportunities and risks coexist in the market. Investors need to identify key points in advance, accurately grasp the trading rhythm, and avoid volatility risks.

Eurozone sentiment leads the way, with the Fed's speech coinciding with the start of an industry conference.
On Monday (June 29), the market will first see the release of economic data from Europe and the United States. The Eurozone will release its June consumer confidence index, which reflects the consumption intentions and economic conditions of Eurozone residents and provides a reference for the future policy direction of the Eurozone.
Subsequently, the United States released the Dallas Fed Business Activity Index for June, which focuses on changes in the manufacturing and service sectors in the southern United States and is a leading sub-indicator for observing the vitality of the US real economy.
Later in the evening, 2027 FOMC voting member and Richmond Fed President Barkin delivered a speech, in which his policy remarks will fine-tune market expectations for the Fed's short-term monetary policy.
On the industry side, the 2026 Beijing Space Computing Conference will be held from June 29th to 30th, which is expected to drive fluctuations in computing power and aerospace technology-related sectors.
Multiple countries release PMI data, Australia sends policy signals.
On Tuesday (June 30), a number of economic data from various countries around the world were released. In the morning, Japan announced its May unemployment rate, which directly reflects the tightness of Japan's job market.
In terms of key domestic data, China released its official manufacturing PMI for June. As a core indicator of the prosperity of the domestic manufacturing industry, it directly affects the sentiment of the industrial, manufacturing, and cyclical sectors in the equity market.
In the European market, Germany released its June retail sales growth figures, reflecting the strength of the recovery in German consumer spending and the overall recovery trend in domestic demand within the Eurozone.
In the evening, a series of US data were released, including the June Chicago PMI, the May JOLTs job openings, and the June Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, comprehensively reflecting the state of the US manufacturing sector, labor market supply and demand, and consumer confidence.
At the central bank level, Eurozone Central Bank President Christine Lagarde delivered a speech, releasing the latest monetary policy direction for the Eurozone; meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of Australia released its meeting minutes . Australia had previously maintained its interest rate at 4.35%, and these minutes will reveal the RBA's detailed assessment of future interest rate trends, inflation, and economic growth, impacting the Australian dollar and related commodity prices.
Inflation and employment data from Europe and the US are released; a top-level global central bank forum is coming.
On Wednesday (July 1), the U.S. released API and EIA crude oil inventory data, which directly affected short-term oil price fluctuations and the trend of the energy sector.
From an inflation perspective, the Eurozone's release of the preliminary June CPI and the June harmonized CPI annual growth rate are the core basis for the European Central Bank to adjust its monetary policy, determining the short-term strength of the euro and European asset pricing.
Regarding manufacturing PMIs, the US released its preliminary ISM Manufacturing PMI, while China, the US, France, Germany, the Eurozone, and the UK simultaneously released their final manufacturing PMIs. Overall, the impact on the market was relatively mild, mainly used to verify the pace of global manufacturing recovery.
On the employment data front, the US released the Challenger job cuts for June and the ADP employment figures for June (the "mini-nonfarm payrolls"). Combined with the previously released JOLTs job openings data, this allows for an early prediction of the overall trend of the US labor market before the nonfarm payrolls data is released, providing a forward-looking reference for the Federal Reserve's policy expectations.
That evening saw a major macroeconomic event of the week: the European Central Bank held a central bank forum in Sintra, where the heads of four key global central banks—Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh, ECB President Lagarde, Bank of England Governor Bailey, and Bank of Canada Governor Macklem—spoke together, collectively signaling the direction of global monetary policy and likely triggering significant volatility in global currency and bond markets.
Non-farm payrolls data takes center stage, setting the tone for market trends.
Thursday (July 2nd) is the culmination of this week's market activity, with the market focusing on the core data of the US June non-farm payrolls. Key attention will be paid to the increase or decrease in employment, the unemployment rate, and wage growth, among other core factors. The strength or weakness of the data will directly revise expectations for the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts or hikes, and determine the short-term pricing of global risk assets.
Meanwhile, the US will release weekly initial and continuing jobless claims data, as well as May durable goods consumption data, to further refine the picture of US employment, consumption, and manufacturing fundamentals and help the market assess the resilience of the US economy.
Services PMI data from multiple countries has been released, and central bank statements continue to have an impact.
On Friday (July 3), global market data closed out, with China, the UK, Russia, and Brazil simultaneously releasing their SPGI services PMIs, reflecting the recovery trend of the service sector in major global economies and providing a complete picture of the global economic climate this week.
On the policy front, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey delivered speeches again, continuing the central bank policy signals from this week and making a second revision to previous market expectations, thus concluding the week's trading.
Risk Warning: Data and policy convergence; multiple variables require vigilance.
In addition to core economic data and central bank speeches, investors should pay close attention to four potential trading risks: First, unexpected fluctuations in PMI, inflation, and employment data of major global economies could quickly overturn existing monetary policy expectations, triggering rapid corrections or surges in the stock market, foreign exchange market, and commodities.
Second, the speeches by the governors of the four major central banks at the forum released signals of a shift from hawkish to dovish, which will likely reshape the global liquidity pricing logic and cause a rapid shift in market style.
Third, the period from the end of June to the beginning of July is a busy window for interim earnings forecasts, and the risk appetite spills over due to fluctuations in the small equity market.
Fourth, sudden changes in the global geopolitical situation have disrupted market risk appetite and increased volatility in safe-haven assets such as the US dollar and gold.
