Breakfast briefing: The old benchmarks are less relevant

In the week ahead, the non-farm payrolls report and FOMC Minutes will be taking the headlines in the United States. The private Caixin versions have recently tended to reflect slightly better results over the past few months. Recall a week ago it was at 4.60%. The price of gold will start today at US$1920/oz and unchanged from Saturday, and a week ago. That means the TWI-5 is still at 69.8 and exactly where we were a week ago.
