Previous data and calendar for Friday

So far we know the publication of Australian retail sales which were announced 1:30 our time, which turned out better than expected, but was ranked below the results of the October – reading 0.5% vs. 0.3%, previous 0.6%.

Much closer to consensus are projections of Barclays, which counts on increase of 175,000 jobs and no change in the level of unemployment. Overall, the report should have positive note, however, showing high level of demand for labor.

Some analysts also claim that the report of this and next month could be unnaturally subdued by the presidential election in the United States. Election campaigns scattered to the maximum, and support for the vote needed extra hands to work, which has provided short-term employment for more people.
