Despite the shortened week in most markets, investors won't have a lack of excitement. This week, we will learn the most important reports from the US labor market for March, which are particularly important for the Fed and have a real impact on interest rate forecasts.

Today, the first of the monthly JOLTS reports regarding new job openings in the market will be published. However, these data are published with some delay and will pertain to February. At the same time, we will also learn about the report on durable goods orders and factory orders for the USA. Speeches by central bankers could be equally important. Today, Bowman, William, Mester, and Daly will speak.
