Major central banks are setting the stage for global markets this week, as key economies such as Japan and Australia will announce changes to their benchmark interest rates. The markets will also closely observe the US and Canada Employment Change. Monitoring these key metrics worldwide can help traders make better trading decisions.
Here are key events to watch out for:

US private businesses generated 106,000 jobs in January 2023, substantially lower than the 253,000 jobs created in December 2022.

In its first meeting of 2023, the BOC increased its overnight rate by 25bps to 4.5% and suggested that it would conclude its aggressive tightening cycle if economic developments conformed to the central bank’s outlook.
For this month, analysts project that the BOC will keep the rates unchanged.
