Tuesday preview: China CPI, ZEW index in focus

by | May 11, 2021

The market spotlight on Tuesday will shift to Asia where Chinese authorities will publish the first of the week’s main economic reports, covering inflation in the world’s second-largest economy.
Investors will be waiting on the release overnight of consumer and factory gate price figures for April.

Forecasts are for the year-on-year rate of CPI to have held at 1.0%, while annual producer price gains are expected to have accelerated from 4.4% in March to 6.5% in April.

Across the Channel, the spotlight would be on the ZEW institute’s closely-followed survey of economic expectations for Germany referencing the month of May.

The European Union’s General Affairs Council meanwhile was due to meet to discuss the bloc’s response to the pandemic, as well as less pressing matters such as EU enlargement, stabilisation and association process and EU-Switzerland relations.

Stateside meanwhile, the National Federation of Independent Business will publish its small business optimism index for April, at 1100 BST, followed by the JOLTS job openings survey for March at 1500 BST.

No major economic releases were scheduled in the UK.
