Key financial data and events at a glance for November 5

The November 5 global macro calendar is headlined by the Bank of England's rate decision and Governor Andrew Bailey's press conference, alongside US weekly initial jobless claims for the week ended October 31 and euro-area September PPI. The session also includes France's September industrial output, Switzerland's October adjusted unemployment rate, the US October Challenger layoffs figure, and the US October global supply chain pressure index, plus EIA natural gas storage for the week ended October 30. Qualcomm's post-close earnings and a 15:00 China Ministry of Commerce press briefing round out the corporate and policy docket. Central bank commentary is heavy, with Fed officials Logan, at 08:00, and two more speakers at 21:50 and 22:10, ECB President Lagarde and board member Lane, and Bank of Canada Governor Macklem's testimony. The clustering of BOE, Fed, ECB and BoC appearances matters because it sets the tone for rate expectations across major currencies. Next, watch the BOE vote split and Bailey's guidance, the jobless-claims print, and whether Lagarde or the Fed speakers shift the policy path priced by markets.
