Week commencing 9 September

Chris Beauchamp's insight

This week’s events take place in the shadow of the previous week’s payrolls report and next week’s Federal Reserve bank (Fed) rate decision. US consumer price index (CPI) provides a useful interlude between the two, though it can be argued that inflation isn’t really the main event now that the Fed has signalled a focus on the jobs market. The European Central Bank (ECB) is also expected to cut rates this week. Given the overriding focus on the macro picture, it is a relief that the equity calendar is so light.
