A brief, partial U.S. government shutdown wiped out a jobs report due on Friday. Instead, it will arrive this week. Watch for Wednesday’s bellwether non-farm payrolls report. The world’s largest economy is expected to create 70,000 jobs last month, up from December, while the unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 4.4%.
The week also included gains from some of the largest and most high-profile cryptocurrency companies, including cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (COIN). Robinhood (HOOD), a trading platform covering stocks and cryptocurrencies, is also on the list.
Outside of the U.S., Asia will receive a lot of attention, with CoinDesk’s second annual Consensus Hong Kong conference taking place. There is a good chance that participating companies will use the event as a venue for corporate announcements.
