Economic data releases next week swell on account of the short month. Regional US activity indexes, revised US Q4 GDP, China’s manufacturing PMI surveys and a eurozone inflation and unemployment statistics round out the week’s reports.
A host of central banks’ meeting minutes, the first indicators of February manufacturing, January trade balances and important decisions in Cyprus and Poland likely dominate the US holiday shortened week.
Next week brings the first January reports, including inflation data, manufacturing, trade balances and retail sales. Policy decisions from the central banks in Australia, the eurozone and the UK are also expected, although few expect material changes from currently accommodative policies.
Key US and Japanese economic data will be released later in the week, however most economic and political news should be light during the holiday shortened week.
Global manufacturing data, US employment reports, central bank monetary policy announcements and continuing congressional fiscal cliff talks are all scheduled for the first week of December.
