Economic Calendar for the Week: Key Events from August 19 to 23 for Investors
This week begins as the Central Bank releases the Focus Report, alongside significant local and global economic events.
Investors should monitor these developments closely. Each day offers unique insights and data crucial for market decisions. Here’s a detailed look at the week’s schedule:
Monday (19)
The Central Bank starts the week by releasing the Focus Report. This document outlines the main market economic forecasts.
Additionally, officials will announce the trade balance, detailing Brazil’s weekly import and export values.
Internationally, Chile’s second-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) publication stands out.
Tuesday (20)
On Tuesday, Brazil will release the General Price Index – Market (IGP-M), known as the “rental inflation.”
This marks the second preview for August. Meanwhile, Germany announces July’s Producer Price Index (PPI), a critical inflation measure tracking price changes for goods and services.
In the Eurozone, investors will receive last month’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key inflation indicator.
Concurrently, Mexico will disclose June’s retail sales and international reserves.
Wednesday (21)
Wednesday slows down with just two significant events: the Central Bank will announce the weekly Foreign Exchange Flow, and the USA will release the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) minutes from July’s meeting.
Thursday (22)
Thursday ramps up with several reports. Germany, the Eurozone, the United Kingdom, and the United States all release the preliminary Composite Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) assessing manufacturing and service sectors.
Mexico and Japan will both reveal their Consumer Price Index (CPI). Mexico will also release its second-quarter GDP.
Friday (23)
The week concludes on Friday with a single scheduled event: the Economic Research Institute Foundation (Fipe) will release the IPC-Weekly for São Paulo.
Unscheduled yet, the Federal Revenue plans to announce the week’s tax and contribution collections.
These events are critical for guiding investors’ decisions, potentially impacting global and national financial markets significantly.
