The brief and partial shutdown of the US government put an end to the report on the employment situation which was expected on Friday; it arrives this week instead. Look for Wednesday’s flagship nonfarm payrolls report. The world’s largest economy is expected to have created 70,000 jobs last month, more than in December, while the unemployment rate is expected to remain at 4.4%.
The week also includes earnings from some of the largest and most high-profile crypto companies, including crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN). Robinhood (HOOD), a trading platform that covers stocks as well as crypto, is also on the list.
Outside of the United States, the focus will be on Asia, where CoinDesk’s second annual Consensus Conference will take place in Hong Kong. There is a good chance that participating companies will use the event as a venue to make corporate announcements.
