The upcoming week’s economic calendar, spanning December 9-13, presents a series of crucial events for investors to monitor. These developments will shape market dynamics both in Brazil and globally.

Tuesday brings the spotlight to Brazil’s official inflation measure, the Extended National Consumer Price Index (IPCA). This comprehensive indicator covers all regions of the country. China will release its trade balance figures, while Germany reports its Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Wednesday marks a pivotal moment as Brazil’s Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) announces the Selic rate decision. The current rate stands at 11.25% per annum. Brazil will also disclose foreign exchange flow data. Meanwhile, Argentina and the United States will release their respective CPI figures.

Thursday’s agenda includes Brazilian retail sales data, offering a snapshot of consumer spending patterns. The European Central Bank (ECB) will announce its interest rate decision, a key event for Eurozone watchers. The U.S. will publish its PPI, while the United Kingdom releases its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures.

Friday concludes the week with Brazil’s General Price Index-10 (IGP-10) and the Central Bank’s Economic Activity Index (IBC-BR). The latter serves as a preview for the national GDP. Internationally, Germany’s trade balance will be of interest to global market participants.
