Week ahead: Emerging markets, US data in focus
The flow of economic data will pick-up substantially in all jurisdictions over the coming week, although markets may well still be digesting recent events in Turkey's capital markets, even as the monitor for collateral effects on other Emerging Markets.
On that note, across the Pacific, in China, Tuesday will see the release of readings on retail sales, industrial production and fixed asset investment.
In the UK, employment data for June and consumer price and retail sales figures for July are all set for release, in that order and starting from Tuesday.
The data calendar is also quite heavy in the US with retail sales data for July, on Wednesday, potentially the most market-moving report, given the heavy weighting of consumption in GDP.
Readings are also due out on industrial production and on the Federal Reserve bank of Philadelphia's manufacturing sector gauge, for August.
Capping the week off, the Reserve Bank of India is set to make a policy announcement on Friday.
