We’ve had an RBA cut, a lack of action from the BoJ and extensive action from the BoE and tonight, the US jobs report may or may not fuel further Fed speculation. The RBNZ is a chance of cutting rates next week and the following week sees the ECB in the frame.

The world is being run by central banks.

While this bodes well for global stocks the truth will out in the local market next week as reporting season shifts into second gear.

Bank results feature next week as Bendigo & Adelaide Bank ((BEN)) and Commonwealth Bank ((CBA)) report earnings and ANZ Bank ((ANZ)) provides a quarterly update. Classifieds also feature with results from Carsales.com ((CAR)), REA Group ((REA)) and Fairfax Media ((FXJ)) while Cochlear ((COH)), Transurban ((TCL)), AGL Energy ((AGL)) and Telstra ((TLS)) provide other highlights.

On the data front, China is back in focus next week with trade, inflation, industrial production, retail sales and fixed asset investment numbers all due.

It’s a quieter data week in the US until retail sales on Friday, while locally we’ll see ANZ job ads and the NAB business and Westpac consumer confidence surveys as well as housing finance.

The RBA governor will speak on Wednesday.
