The week starts with August manufacturing PMI flash estimates for various developed countries, including the United States, Japan, Euro Area, Germany, and the UK.

The indices improved slightly in July in most of these countries, except in the Euro Area as a whole, but the August figures may not be that optimistic amid the accelerating wave of delta variant cases and global supply shortages.

On Tuesday, the Bank of Korea will publish the consumer sentiment survey for August, while in the United States we will be monitoring the July release of home sales and the August Richmond Fed manufacturing index.

On Wednesday, the composite economic indices for Japan will be released, followed by the Ifo business climate index for Germany. Two major indicator releases for Brazil will be expected on that day – the FGV consumer confidence index for August and the balance of payments for July. In the US, the July report on durable goods will be published.

On Thursday, the GFK consumer confidence for Germany will be released, followed by several key indicators for the United States, including the Q2 corporate profits, initial jobless claims, and the Kansas Fed manufacturing index.

The week ends with China’s industrial profits for July and July data for the US households, including personal consumption expenditure and income and the PCE inflation, the Fed’s inflation target gauge.
