Week ahead 15/1/24: UK & Japan CPI, China GDP & US earnings

There’s US market holiday on Monday for Martin Luther King day which means that there will be no cash session on Wall Street and no individual stocks trading. IG will, however, have 24-hour markets up and running as usual and we’ll look ahead to Tuesday’s corporate offering from Goldman Sachs (all-sessions) and Morgan Stanley. We’ll get better look t what’s happening under the bonnet of the UK economy with jobs data, retail sales and, perhaps more importantly, inflation data with CPI, PPI and RPI numbers for December. There is also a raft of data from China with GDP, retail sales, unemployment, industrial production and fixed asset investment. The mining sector may also be of interest with year end production data from Rio Tinto and Antofagasta alongside forecasts for 2024. Any opinion, news, research, analysis, or other information does not constitute investment or trading advice. Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube
