BUZZ-Week Ahead-US jobs, Powell and other Fed speakers lead

Sept 30 (Reuters) - A raft of U.S. data including the key monthly jobs report, global final September PMIs and speeches by several U.S. Federal Reserve officials dominate a relatively low-key calendar for financial markets with China beginning a week-long public holiday on Oct 1.

The U.S. has a busy week culminating in Friday's often volatile non-farm payrolls release: a Reuters poll predicts 145,000 headline jobs created in September and the unemployment rate steady at 4.2%.

The week begins with Chicago PMI and a speech from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. At least 10 other Fed officials are scheduled to speak during the week, adding texture to the market's U.S. policy expectations. Data highlights include ISM manufacturing and non-manufacturing PMIs, JOLTS job openings, the ADP jobs report, weekly jobless claims and factory orders.

The euro zone releases final September PMIs, flash HICP, August PPI and unemployment. German CPI and retail sales are due on Monday, when European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde speaks to the European Parliament.

The UK has its Monetary Policy Report hearings in parliament, which can produce a market reaction. Final readings of Q2 GDP and PMIs are due.

Japan publishes its Q3 Tankan survey, industrial output, retail sales, and unemployment rate. The Bank of Japan will release the summary of opinions from its Sept 19-20 policy meeting.

China's official NBS and Caixin manufacturing and services PMIs for September are released on Monday and may show some improvement from the generally gloomy readings in August.

Australia's retail sales on Tuesday will be watched for signs of a pick-up in consumer spending which remains subdued as high interest rates bite. Building approvals, trade, credit and housing finance data are also due.

New Zealand publishes consumer and business confidence and Canada, its PMIs.
