Delays in data reporting due to the recent partial shutdown of the US government have led to the concurrent release of the US jobs report and Consumer Price Index (CPI) next week, which are both crucial for assessing the Federal Reserve's dual mandate. Additionally, retail sales figures and employment cost data will be highlighted. In Asia, attention will be focused on the upcoming snap elections in Japan, following significant fluctuations in the yen and Japanese government bond markets that affected global fixed income this year. Simultaneously, the UK will report its GDP for the fourth quarter, and inflation statistics are anticipated from China, Brazil, and India. On the monetary policy scene, the Bank of Russia will announce its interest rate decision. Lastly, notable companies such as McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Cisco Systems, T-Mobile, and Applied Materials are scheduled to release their earnings results.
