Week of September 28, 2026

NFPs after the US and Japanese Bond action Last Week

Published Sep 27, 2026

This week’s forex calendar is led by the RBA rate decision, U.S. JOLTS Job Openings, Core PCE inflation, and Friday’s U.S. employment report. With U.S. Treasury and Japanese government bond yields already volatile, the market’s reaction to each release may matter as much as the data itself.
