Economic Calendar (07Sep2026)
U.S. Holiday and Treasury Auctions
The U.S. market will be closed on Monday for the Labour Day holiday weekend. Later in the week, investors will focus on the 10-year note auction and the 30-year bond auction, both of which are important indicators for the bond market.
Higher bond yields may attract more capital into fixed income, potentially reducing the amount of cash flowing into other asset classes such as stocks and equities.
Inflation and Labour Market Data
August PPI is expected to be released with a forecast of 0.3%. This measure reflects inflation pressures faced by producers, which may flow through to consumers over the following months.
Initial jobless claims will also be announced and will be a key data point for the Federal Reserve as it assesses its upcoming interest rate decision.
Housing, CPI, and Market Volatility
Existing home sales for August are forecast at 4.03 million units, making this release an important barometer for the real estate market.
The most closely watched data of the week is likely to be August CPI and core CPI. Headline CPI is forecast to rise 0.4% month on month. This is the inflation figure most commonly referenced by the market and is another key input for the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.
If these data releases differ materially from expectations, markets may experience increased volatility across bonds, stocks, and equities.
