What can move markets next week

28 Sep – 2 Oct 2026 · and the reading each market carries into it

There is no Fed decision next week, but the calendar still fills up. Australia's central bank sets rates on Tuesday, and the weekly US oil stocks report lands on Wednesday. On Thursday Japan publishes its Tankan business survey and the US reports gas storage, and on Friday the euro area gets its first reading of September inflation.

The one to watch is Friday's US jobs report for September, due at 08:30 New York time. It tends to move stocks, the dollar, gold and crypto at once.
