Economic Highlights
This week, investors will be focused on key economic data releases, including central bank policy decisions spanning several continents. In the US, retail sales, industrial production, and building permits data will be closely watched alongside the Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers’ comments, offering insights into the direction of interest rates on the back of recent economic surprises.
In Europe, all eyes will be on the European Central Bank’s (ECB) meeting, where another potential rate cut could be on the cards. The release of Eurozone inflation and industrial production data, along with the UK’s employment, inflation, and retail sales figures, will provide further clues on the region’s economic health, in the wake of softening conditions in the manufacturing sector.
In the Asia-Pacific region, a full data calendar includes China’s Q3 GDP, retail sales, and industrial production figures, which will provide an important update on the world’s second-largest economy. Meanwhile, Japan’s inflation data will be monitored closely, and central bank meetings in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand round off the week’s key monetary policy decisions.
