Week ahead: China data, UK CPI in the spotlight

by | Oct 15, 2022

Investors’ focus over the coming week will shift to Asia where a barrage of key economic indicators are due out in the People’s Republic of China.
Monday will bring with it the release of foreign trade statistics in China, followed the next day by a flurry of indicators covering fixed asset investment, industrial production and retail sales for the month of September.

Also due out on Tuesday, in Beijing, are third quarter gross domestic product figures.

On home shores, Wednesday will see the Office for National Statistics publish consumer price data for September.

It will be followed on Friday by readings for UK retail sales and the public sector’s net borrowing requirement.

On the companies’ side of things, Asos will post its full-year numbers on Wednesday, followed by IHG on Friday.

Across the Channel, the spotlight will be on the ZEW Institute’s economic confidence index for October in Germany, come Tuesday, and a preliminary report for euro area consumer confidence in October on Friday.

In the US, Thursday will be the key day for economic reports with housing starts data and the results of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s manufacturing sector survey for October expected.

The US central bank’s Beige Book, due out on Wednesday, may also attract attention, as will a series of speeches from top Federal Reserve officials, starting from Tuesday.

Financial markets will also be closely watching the first corporate results of the quarter, including those from Netflix and Goldman Sachs on Tuesday and Tesla on Wednesday.
