COMING THIS WEEK

Some of the major business and economic events scheduled for this week

U.S. job growth is expected to have slowed in March, keeping wage pressures from driving up inflation and giving Federal Reserve policymakers another reason to leave interest rates unchanged when they meet this week. Extended fighting in Kosovo might slow economic activity in coming months and would also argue against higher rates. The March employment report will be announced Friday. The number of nonfarm jobs rose by an estimated 155,000 during the month, according to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. That would mark the lowest monthly jobs increase since July 1998.
