The upcoming week, spanning February 24 to 28, presents a packed schedule of economic data releases, drawing attention from investors worldwide. Key reports from Brazil, the Eurozone, the United States, and China will provide critical insights into inflation, employment, and economic growth.
On Monday, February 24, the Eurozone will release its Consumer Price Index (CPI), offering a snapshot of inflation trends in the region. In Brazil, the Federal Tax Revenue report and the Central Bank’s Focus Bulletin—summarizing market forecasts—will set the tone for domestic markets. Meanwhile, Japan observes a public holiday for the Emperor’s Birthday.
Tuesday shifts focus to Brazil’s IPCA-15 inflation index, a mid-month preview of the country’s official inflation rate. This indicator covers price changes from the 16th of the previous month to the 15th of the current month across key regions.
On the international front, Japan’s CPI and Germany’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures will also be released, providing insights into consumer spending and Europe’s largest economy.
Midweek on Wednesday, February 26, Brazil’s labor market takes center stage with data from CAGED (General Register of Employed and Unemployed) on employment evolution. Additionally, foreign exchange flow figures will offer a glimpse into currency market dynamics.
Thursday brings Brazil’s IGP-M index, often referred to as “rental inflation,” which tracks price variations from the 21st of one month to the 20th of the next. This index serves as a benchmark for rental contracts and public utility tariffs.
Other key domestic releases include foreign direct investment data, current account balances, and national unemployment rates. Internationally, investors will analyze minutes from the European Central Bank’s monetary policy meeting and preliminary U.S. GDP figures.
The week concludes on Friday with Germany releasing its CPI and retail sales data—critical indicators of consumer spending trends. In Brazil, attention will turn to budget balance figures. Meanwhile, China will unveil its Composite Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and Industrial PMI, measuring activity across manufacturing and services sectors.
