Week ahead: Euro area and US inflation data in focus

(Sharecast News) - Financial markets' focus over the last week of September would be on the latest consumer price data due out in the single currency bloc. Consensus was that year-on-year gains in the single currency bloc's headline CPI slowed from 5.2% in August to 4.5% in September.

Preliminary inflation readings due out in Germany and Spain the day before would give investors a foretaste of what to expect.

Also due out was a barrage of economic reports in the U.S..

The first two sessions of the week would see the release of a smattering of regional factory activity survey readings, alongside multiple reports on the state of the country's housing market.

Nonetheless, investors would have to wait until Friday for the week's key release on that side of the Atlantic, the personal income and spending report.

Particular attention would be paid to the price gauges included in that report, which were expected to show inflation pressures continuing to ebb at the core level.

Also due to be published on the same day was the final reading for September on the University of Michigan's closely followed consumer confidence index.

In Japan, Thursday would bring with it a barrage of indicators, including for industrial production and consumer price inflation in Tokyo.

On home shores, the last day of the week would see the release of readings for consumer credit growth and mortageg approvals in August.
