The run of economic data reports picks up this week. For the US, there will be various key indicators of the state of the economy Trump will inherit, with fresh updates on inflation — the headline figure is expected to rise slightly while core inflation trends lower — retail sales and industrial production numbers. The scale of China’s challenge in restoring growth is the backdrop to its publication of retail sales, industrial production and property data. Meanwhile, the UK number-crunchers make available the latest labour market figures and, along with Japan and the EU, have a first stab at third-quarter GDP.
There will also be a smattering of earnings calls, including mobile and broadband provider Vodafone, fresh from getting the Competition and Markets Authority nod for its £16.5bn merger with Three UK, and fashion brand Burberry, itself a takeover target in the ailing market for luxury goods.
One more thing . . .
Thank you to my newsletter colleague Harvey for filling in last week, giving me a few days at home assisting/haranguing my youngest two children, on half-term break, to stay on track revising for pre-Christmas GCSE mock exams and completing the dreaded statement for university applications. Next we enter the season of getting ready for Christmas itself, and the FT’s HTSI has got in early for those with an eye on dates by picking the best luxury advent calendars.
