The Week Ahead – Central Bank Chatter, COVID-19, and Stats from China and the U.S Key

It’s a quieter week ahead on the economic calendar, with 49 stats in focus in the week ending 14th January. In the week prior, just 63 stats had been in focus.

December inflation figures will be in focus on Wednesday along with wholesale inflation numbers on Thursday. Expect plenty of interest in the numbers, with inflation key to the FED’s policy moves for the year.

On Thursday, jobless claims will also draw interest ahead of retail sales and consumer sentiment figures on Friday.
