A major feature this week will be the monthly China data release (trade figures are already out), but this time there will also be the quarterlies, including an update on the GDP situation in China. Growth is projected to slow slightly, and inflation is projected to accelerate, while industrial projection is likely to show a decrease, and consumer spending will probably be close to unchanged. Given the concerns about a potential slowdown in the Chinese economy, this will be a closely watched release.
On the inflation front, the UK will start off the June CPI reporting, with expectations for a slight decrease in the inflation rate; next is Europe, expected to show little change in the year on year change. As noted China is expected to show a slight increase, New Zealand will also likely see an increase, but the US on the other hand will likely see a further drop-off in the inflation rate - in line with indications from the PMI figures for June.
Another feature of the week will be the updates to industrial production; first up is the final reading for May from Japan, then there's the May reading for the Euro-Zone; expected to be up slightly on a year over year basis, and the US is expected to report a slight slowdown, as is China; which is consistent with the PMI readings from both countries.
In the monetary policy sphere there's the Bank of Japan interest rate decision, US FOMC minutes, and the Senate banking committee will be holding a hearing on Fed nominations.
Also as noted, there will be further confidence updates, with Japan reporting consumer confidence, Australia reporting business and consumer confidence, the EU reporting economic sentiment, and the US with the University of Michigan Confidence indicator.
So as always, have a great week, watch out for surprises, and stay tuned for updates...
