Economic Calendar: Key Market Events For The Week From May 5 To May 9, 2025

(MENAFN- The Rio Times) Financial markets are set for a pivotal week from May 5 to May 9, 2025, with a range of economic indicators from Brazil, the Eurozone, the U.S., and other global economies likely to influence market dynamics.

The week begins on Monday with holidays in Japan (Children's Day), South Korea (Children's Day), China (Labor Day), the UK (Bank Holiday), and Hong Kong (The Birthday of the Buddha), limiting some market activity.

Key events include Brazil's BCB Focus Market Readout and IPC-Fipe Inflation Index, alongside Switzerland's CPI and the U.S. ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI.

Tuesday features Brazil's S&P Global Services PMI, Japan's Greenery Day and South Korea's Vesak Day holidays, the Eurozone's German Services PMI, and the U.S. Trade Balance.

Friday focuses on Brazil's CPI, the Eurozone's Italian Industrial Production, and Canada's Employment Change, alongside U.S. speeches from FOMC members.

Brazil's economic data may significantly impact Latin American markets, while global indicators , particularly U.S. monetary policy and Eurozone production, could drive volatility, especially midweek.
