A busy US economic calendar could bring fresh volatility to crypto markets, with inflation, labor-market, manufacturing and Federal Reserve events scheduled across four days. Tuesday brings August JOLTS Job Openings and September consumer confidence data. Wednesday features August Personal Income and Outlays, including the Fed’s preferred inflation measure, the PCE price index, as well as the third and final estimate of second-quarter US GDP. Hotter inflation could reinforce expectations for another interest-rate increase after the US central bank raised rates earlier this month for the first time in more than three years, while softer data could reduce pressure for further tightening. Friday’s jobs report, due at 8:30 am ET, will cover payroll growth, unemployment and wages. The prior report was substantially stronger than expected and was followed by immediate declines in BTC and altcoins. Thursday’s schedule includes the September ISM Manufacturing PMI, following an August reading of 54.6 that marked an eighth consecutive monthly expansion. The Kobeissi Letter also counted 22 scheduled Federal Reserve speaker events during the week.
