SMM6 5: focus on the next day at 2:00 released the Federal Reserve released a brown book on the state of the economy.

On the data side, the May China Caixin Service Industry PMI, Purchasing managers' Index is usually released on the first working day of each month. If the PMI is higher than 50, it indicates that service industry activity is on an overall expansion trend. Below 50 reflects a contraction in the service sector. Because Australia is closely related to the Chinese economy, the quality of the Chinese economy has a huge impact on the Australian dollar.

The monthly rate (%) and annual rate (%) of retail sales in the euro area in April were released in the afternoon as the primary tool for measuring consumer spending, which is the most important part of overall economic activity.

ADP employment in the United States in May (10,000), employment data is the leading indicator of consumer spending, accounting for the majority of overall economic activity. It is seen as a leading indicator of non-farm payrolls, two days ahead of the official non-farm payrolls figures released by the Labor Department.

The May ISM non-manufacturing PMI, in the United States is a leading indicator of whether the economy is healthy or not. Businesses can respond quickly to market conditions. Purchasing managers' views on the economic situation of their companies may be the most timely and relevant.

EIA crude oil stocks changed in the week ended May 31 (10,000 barrels), EIA refined oil stocks changed in the week ending May 31 (10,000 barrels), and gasoline stocks in the United States changed in the week ended May 31 (10,000 barrels). This is a US indicator, and the increase or decrease in inventories will affect the price of crude oil, which in turn will have an impact on the Canadian dollar, because Canada's crude oil exports account for a large proportion of the economy. The impact is greater than the American Petroleum Institute's weekly crude oil inventory changes.

Botswana's Khoemacau copper mine increased copper production in the second quarter of 2026 as improved ore grades offset lower mining volumes, while construction of its major expansion project continued to advance. According to MMG Limited's second-quarter production report, Khoemacau produced 11,423 tonnes of copper in concentrate during the three months ended 30 June, representing a 7% increase from the previous quarter and remaining broadly in line with production achieved in the corresponding period of 2025. Although ore milled declined year-on-year, the operation benefited from improved copper grades of 1.62%, up from 1.59% a year earlier, as mining progressed into higher-grade sections of the Zone 5 orebody. Metallurgical recovery remained stable at 88.2%. MMG said lower ore mined volumes reflected earlier development delays and reduced equipment availability. However, the company expects operational performance to strengthen during the second half of 2026 as new mining equipment is deployed, refurbished fleet units are commissioned, and access to higher-grade mining areas continues. The company maintained its 2026 copper production guidance of 48,000-53,000 tonnes while lowering C1 cash cost guidance to US$1.70-US$2.00/lb, supported by stronger silver prices. Construction of Khoemacau's expansion project also progressed during the quarter. The project is designed to increase annual copper production to 130,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate and more than 4 million ounces of silver, with first concentrate expected in the first half of 2028. Continued progress at Khoemacau reinforces Botswana's position as an emerging copper producer at a time of tightening global supply. The expansion is expected to add meaningful new copper capacity over the medium term, supporting long-term supply growth as demand from electrification, renewable energy and electric vehicle manufacturing continues to accelerate.
