Week ahead: US non-farm payrolls, global manufacturing in focus

(Sharecast News) - All eyes over the coming week will be on the release of the monthly US non-farm payrolls report on Friday, with investors keen to judge whether the jobs market in the world's largest economy is indeed stalling or not.
Quite important as well, Wednesday will bring with it the Caixin manufacturing sector Purchasing Managers' Index for China in September.

That will give investors a steer on how factory sector conditions and the economic recovery in the Asian giant are progressing.

Also due out on Wednesday is the Bank of Japan's quarterly Tankan business confidence survey.

The following session will bring with it updated PMIs for the same month out of the euro area and UK.
