Economic Calendar: UK Inflation Data, Canadian Housing, US Trade Figures and ECB President Lagarde's Speech in Focus

8:49 am 16 October 2024

Today's economic calendar features a mix of important data releases and central bank communications, with a particular focus on the United Kingdom, United States, and Eurozone. Key highlights include UK inflation data, Canadian housing starts and US trade figures, and speeches from Federal Reserve and European Central Bank officials.

The UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for September will be closely watched, with year-on-year inflation expected to show a slight decrease to 1.9% from the previous 2.2%. This could provide insights into the Bank of England's future monetary policy decisions.

In the US and Canada, housing starts data for September and trade figures will offer a glimpse into the health of the housing market and international trade. The Federal Budget Balance for September is also noteworthy, with a forecast of $61.0B compared to the previous -$380.0B, potentially indicating a significant shift in fiscal position.

Several major companies are scheduled to report earnings, including ASML Holding, Abbott Laboratories, and Morgan Stanley. These reports will likely provide insights into various sectors including technology, healthcare, and finance.
