Fundamentals
United States
Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey
The number of job openings in the United States probably rose to 4.823 million in October from 4.735 million in the prior month. This indicator refers to all positions that are open, but not filled on the last business day of the month. Job openings are part of the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), which gathers data from about 16 400 non-farm establishments including retailers and manufacturers, as well as federal, state, and local government entities in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The survey assesses the unmet demand for labor in the labor market. Higher-than-projected number of openings is usually dollar positive. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is to release the official data at 15:00 GMT.
TurkeyRetail sales
At 8:00 GMT the Turkish Statistical Institute is expected to report on the retail sales index for October. In September annualized sales rose at a pace of 4.1%, or the most since June, when they were reported to have increased 5.2%. In monthly terms, retail sales climbed 1.0% in September, after a 0.1% drop in August. This indicator reflects the change in the total value of inflation-adjusted sales by retailers in the country and provides key information regarding consumer spending trend in a shorter term, while the latter is a key driving force behind economic growth. Therefore, higher-than-anticipated rates of increase in sales usually provide support to the local currency.
