Regarding data weeks, they don’t get much busier than this. SA will start the week with the usual end-of-month data
deluge, as money supply, the trade balance and the government finance stats are all released. On Tuesday, the
latest vehicle sales and PMI figures (both local and international) are scheduled for release, followed by the US
labour market data, which will start with the ADP figures on Wednesday and end with the non-farm payroll figures
on Friday. To call this a busy data week is, therefore, an understatement. The collective outcome of this data is likely
to be market-moving and may well extend current trends.
