Federal budget next Tuesday. Be very afraid.

US jobs numbers tonight. Anything can happen.

Beijing will release China’s April inflation data tomorrow ahead of Wednesday’s dump of industrial production, retail sales and fixed asset investment numbers.

The Bank of England will hold a policy meeting on Monday but given there may not yet be a UK government at that point, one presumes nothing will happen.

The first estimate of eurozone March quarter GDP will be out on Wednesday.

After Wall Street absorbs the jobs numbers, next week sees retail sales and inventories, the PPI, industrial production, consumer sentiment and the Empire State activity index.

NAB will publish its monthly business confidence survey and the release of the March quarter wage price index midweek is a clue Australia’s GDP result is due early June.

On the local stock front, CSR ((CSR)) and AusNet Services ((AST)) will release full-year results next week, Incitec Pivot ((IPL)), Orica ((ORI)), Graincorp ((GNC)) and Paladin Energy ((PDN)) will offer quarterly updates and there will be a smattering of AGMs.
