Today is particularly calm in terms of macroeconomic publications. No major reports are scheduled, and the market in Japan remains closed due to a holiday. On the stock market, investors will receive reports from Barrick Gold and Monday.com before the opening of the cash session in the U.S.
The most important report of the week is undoubtedly the U.S. CPI inflation report, which will be released on Wednesday at 1:30 PM BST. Expectations indicate a reading of 3.00% year-on-year, unchanged from the June reading. However, there is speculation that the data might show a drop below the 3.00% level for the first time.

The publication is scheduled for Thursday at 1:30 PM BST. After three weaker months, retail sales are expected to rebound to 0.3% month-on-month in July. However, consumer sentiment remains low, not indicating a strong improvement in the situation. High interest rates and a cooling labor market may exert increasing pressure on U.S. consumers.
