Wednesday sees the UK and US publishing their respective CPIs. The US Federal Reserve also releases its Beige Book. This report details current economic conditions across the Fed’s 12 districts. Brazil shares data on service sector growth and foreign exchange flow.

Thursday’s packed agenda includes the UK’s trade balance and GDP figures. China also reports its GDP and retail sales data. Germany’s CPI, the European Central Bank’s monetary policy meeting minutes, and US initial jobless claims round out the day’s events.

Friday concludes the week with Brazil’s General Price Index-10 (IGP-10). This index records inflation from the 11th of the previous month to the 10th of the current month. Internationally, the Eurozone CPI and UK retail sales data close out the week’s economic calendar.
