This Friday morning, New York’s future indices are declining after the ADP report revealed an unexpected rise in private-sector jobs.

The market is now focused on the upcoming U.S. payroll data. These figures will shed more light on the labor market’s condition and, by extension, the U.S. economy.

In Brazil, the IGP-DI index, expected to rise by 0.75% according to the LSEG consensus, will be released, along with November’s industrial production data.
