Economic calendar: Inflation in Europe and US manufacturing in the spotlight📌

Today, the market is primarily focused on inflation and industrial production data from the world’s major economies. In Germany and Italy, final consumer inflation figures are being released, which could provide guidance for monetary policy in the eurozone and shape investors’ expectations regarding the European Central Bank. In the United States, attention is on industrial production and housing market releases, which offer insight into the strength of the economy and potential inflationary pressures. Additionally, the market is monitoring activity in the oil sector, which affects both commodity prices and sentiment across the broader energy sector. The outcomes of these releases could have a significant impact on current market sentiment and expectations for the actions of major central banks globally.
