Central bank meetings, US jobless claims, Nokia and Western Digital earnings in focus

The clustering of rate decisions in Indonesia, the Philippines and Turkey alongside a quiet ECB puts Asia and EM policy divergence back in focus, while US jobless claims carry extra weight as the main read on labor conditions during the ECB blackout. For markets, the sequencing matters: EM central bank outcomes land before the US data, so any surprise there could set the tone for how the claims print is absorbed. Nokia and Western Digital add a corporate earnings layer that can move tech and hardware sentiment independently of the macro calendar. Whether the EM decisions signal a common direction or a split is the open question.
