Economic Calendar (25Nov24)
Notable Highlights
-
The most watched news in the coming week is the Core PCE Price Index - the main reference used by the Federal Reserve to reference inflation in the US economy. A lower figure can rally a bullish market that is hoping for more rate cuts.
-
There will be an update on America’s GDP (Q3) estimated at 2.8%.
-
China’s Manufacturing PMI will be announced in the coming week. The last reading was 50.1, which represents growth in the sector. China is one of the global factories and if the manufacture continues to expand, this implies the growing demand of the rest of the world that depend on China for production.
-
In a similar vein, Chicago PMI will provide an outlook of the Chicago region's manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors. The previous PMI of 41.8 implies (much) contraction.
-
CB Consumer confidence has a good bearing on consumer outlook. A figure that is above 100 represents a positive outlook. Durable Goods Orders will also lend weight to the economic outlook.
-
Initial jobless claims will be announced. The Federal Reserve uses this as one of the key macro data references as it balances inflation and employment in the economy.
-
Crude Oil Inventories can be seen as forward indicators of market demand and consumption. If the trend of excess inventories continues, demand erosion can lead to reduced production & weakening consumer spending.
