A quiet earnings calendar only reinforces the influence this data drop will have on the stock market, which is coming off a down week.
Jobs, jobs, jobs: We're watching the usual batch of data during jobs week, beginning on Tuesday morning with so-called JOLTS and bookended with Friday's release of the September nonfarm payrolls report.
The overarching lens through which the data will be viewed: Is the jobs market showing additional weakness, supporting the argument for multiple Fed cuts by year-end?
The JOLTS report is one month behind the official jobs report, meaning on Tuesday we will get data looking at August.
But ultimately, bond traders are going to make up their own minds, giving us a bond market that adheres to free market dynamics.
