To me looks like US manufcturing data and payrolls are likely to steer the market that is unless Iran shakes things up first. Low jobless claims simply tell us that layoffs havent been significant and there hasnt been any major weaather event like a hurricane to impact the data yet though thats about to change. This will like support the job numbers. Companies probably havent been doing much hiring either so we're looking at a cap on those figures. The key factors to watch will be wages and unemployment. With strong consumer sentiment and ongoing strikes, wages show strength and unemployment is harder to predict especially considering the impact of illegal immigrants on the surveys. Overall, given the the political and geopolitical risks it seems unlikely equities will go anywhere this week.

The policy shift from China is a massive one. It will shore up the stock market valuations. But will it give confidence to international investors?
