Starting with the main event, the US economy is expected to show an annualised growth rate of 2.5% in the second quarter of 2010, which will be slightly lower than the previous 2.7%. As I've often pointed to, it's likely that the first half of 2010 will be as good as it gets for this year, with either slower or downright double-dip material showing up in the second half.
On the inflation front, we've got several countries reporting CPI figures; first up is Australia, which is expected to show an annual inflation rate of 3.4% for the second quarter (up from 2.9% in Q1). Japan is expected to show further deflation with -0.7% year on year (vs -0.9% in May). The EU is also expected to show a slight pick up, to 1.8% from 1.4%.
There's also several confidence indicator updates, there's the US with the conference board consumer confidence index; expected to slip further to 51.8 from 52.9, and at the end of the week there's also the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index which is expected to rise slightly to 67.5 from 66.5. There's also National Bank of New Zealand business confidence, EU economic confidence, and China PMI.
It's also generally a heavy data week for Japan and the US. The US has the Fed's Beige Book economic report out, and the updates on the US housing market continue with S&P Case Shiller home price index (along with new home sales the day before), durable goods orders, and personal consumption stats, so it will provide a good insight into where the US is tracking.
In Japan there's retail sales, the jobless rate, CPI, industrial production, and housing starts - so it will also be good to get an update on where the world's 3rd or 2nd (depending how you measure) largest economy.
So as always, have a great week, watch out for surprises, and stay tuned for updates...
