What volatility risks should we pay attention to this week?

Although Bitcoin showed its long-lost gains on the first day of July, it remains to be seen whether the trend has reversed. Here are some key observations that may bring volatility to the market this week:

Global Manufacturing and Services PMI

The US S&P and ISM PMI indices will be released from Monday to Wednesday, and Europe will also release the HCOB PMI index.

The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) measures the activities of manufacturing purchasing managers. An index above 50 means the manufacturing industry is expanding; an index below 50 means the manufacturing industry is shrinking. If the indicator is higher than expected, it is usually considered a strength/up for the US dollar, and if it is negative, it is considered a weakness/down for the US dollar.

U.S. nonfarm employment

In addition to PMI, the United States will release non-farm payroll data on Friday evening. Economists predict that the unemployment rate may remain at 4%, and average hourly earnings are expected to increase by 3.9% from June last year, the smallest annual increase in three years.

Federal Reserve FOMC meeting minutes

On Wednesday evening, the Federal Reserve will release the minutes of the June Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, which will provide further analysis of officials' attitudes. However, the attitude of most officials has clearly become more conservative in recent months, so there should not be much fluctuation.
