Wednesday 01 March
Overnight we have the British Retail Consortium’s Shop Price Index, Japan’s Manufacturing PMI and the latest GDP and CPI updates from Australia. This version of Australian CPI has only been running since the last quarter of 2022, so it’s hardly surprising that last month it hit an all-time high of 8.4% year-on-year. But it will be interesting to see if it moderates slightly this time round, or continues to push higher. Certainly, there’s little evidence that the Reserve Bank of Australia is preparing to end its current programme of rate increases.
From China we have Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing PMIs and the Caixin Manufacturing PMI for good measure.
Later, there’s Swiss Retail Sales and then we have Manufacturing PMIs from Switzerland, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, the Eurozone, Canada, the UK and US.
From the UK we also have M4 Money Supply, Net Lending to Individuals, Mortgage Approvals and a speech from BoE governor Andrew Bailey.
From the US we have Construction Spending, weekly Crude Oil Inventories and Total Vehicle Sales.
Key earnings reports come from American Eagle, Smith & Wesson, Jack in the Box, Tupperware, Kohls, Wendy’s, Lowe’s, Weibo, Dollar Tree, NIO NYSE:NIO and Salesforce NYSE:CRM.
