Riskier assets such as <strong>US equities<\/strong> may slide should the Fed sound hawkish, while a possible dovish tone could provide support for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xlence.com\/ko\/markets\/shares\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">US stock markets<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aussie-traders-focus-on-australia-s-january-employment-data\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Aussie traders focus on Australia\u2019s January employment data<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Australia <\/strong>is to release its January employment data in tomorrow\u2019s <strong>Asian session<\/strong> and <strong>Aussie <\/strong>traders are expected to focus on the release. Currently economists, expect the <strong>unemployment rate<\/strong> to tick up to 4.2% while at the same time expect the <strong>employment change<\/strong> figure to drop from December\u2019s 65.2k to 20k.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Hence expectations for both indicators tend to imply a possibility that the <strong>Australian employment market<\/strong> has eased over the past month. The release is expected to affect also the market\u2019s expectations for <strong>RBA\u2019s <\/strong>intentions. <\/p>\n\n<p>A wider than expected easing of the Australian employment market, could tame the market\u2019s hawkish expectations further for RBA, while an unexpected tightening of the Australian employment market could enhance market expectations for a possible parallel tightening of RBA\u2019s monetary policy. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xlence-research-team-opinion-0\"><strong>Xlence Research Team opinion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Should we see the actual rates and figures differing from current forecasts, two scenarios may emerge. Should the <strong>employment data<\/strong> show a tighter than expected Australian employment market, we may see the Aussie getting substantial <strong>support <\/strong>and vice versa, weaker than expected <strong>Australian employment data<\/strong> could weigh on <strong>AUD<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-us-stock-markets-remain-stable\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>US stock markets remain stable<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>US stock markets<\/strong> remained relatively stable as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xlence.com\/ko\/markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the markets<\/a> reopened yesterday after Monday\u2019s public holiday. As for <strong>earnings releases<\/strong>, we note that <strong>Palo Alto<\/strong> showed figures surpassing market expectations for both the <strong>EPS <\/strong>and the <strong>revenue <\/strong>figures, yet on the flip side the company\u2019s forward guidance may have disappointed traders. <\/p>\n\n<p>We also note the ongoing developments regarding the takeover of <strong>Warner Bros<\/strong>, by <strong>Paramount<\/strong>, with the former giving another chance to the latter for a higher bid. Meanwhile <strong>Netflix <\/strong>is closely watching the situation. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xlence-research-team-opinion-1\"><strong>Xlence Research Team opinion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Overall we still see the market\u2019s worries for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xlence.com\/ko\/news-analysis\/markets-restart-their-engines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">oversized AI investments<\/a> in the <strong>US tech sector<\/strong> still present on a <strong>fundamental <\/strong>level, Yet worries seem to be slowly digested and thus easing, which may allow US equities to gain some ground. <\/p>\n\n<p>On the flip side should the market\u2019s worries intensify again we may see the US stock markets being on the retreat.
