Japan starts the day with Retail Sales. Thy’re predicted to rise by 1.7% (annualized), slower than last month’s 2.3% figure. On the other side of the day, Japan’s Household Spending will probably rise by 1.5% (annually), slower than 1.7% last time.
Japan’s unemployment rate isn’t expected to move from 4.9% that was reported last month. The last release in Japan is somewhat more important – the preliminary industrial production figure. This is expected to dip by 0.4% after rising by 2.7% last time.
In Germany, the different states will release the preliminary version of CPI during the day. Germany’s prices are expected to rise by 0.3%, less than last month’s 0.4% rise. Also in Europe, Consumer Confidence is expected to remain unchanged, at -17, exactly as last month.
