These two events could fuel the first major US market moves of the year:

The Fed is set to release the minutes from its December meeting at 2PM Eastern Time Wednesday, which could offer investors some insight into whether it'll look to press ahead with its rate hikes – or ease up on monetary tightening as inflation starts to cool toward its 2% target.

The release of non-farm payrolls data at 9AM Eastern Time Friday will show how many jobs the economy gained in December – and could set the direction of travel for financial markets for the next few weeks.
