Here's the Economic Calendar for the week commencing the 26th of December 2010. As we enter the last market week of 2010 there's only a handful of economic events this week. No doubt the interest rate increase in China will play a part in how the following week turns out. The main events this week will be Japan data (jobless rate, CPI, industrial production, and retail trade), and US data ( consumer confidence, and the S&P/Case-Shiller house price report), and China data (industrial profits and leading index).
