Broken down by day: Monday – US Services PMI, New Home Sales (Consensus 4.7%); Singapore CPI; Tuesday – US Durable Goods (consensus 7.5%) and Consumer Confidence; Wednesday – Germany GfK Consumer Confidence; Thursday – US GDP 2Q (2nd est., expect 3.70%, below consensus) and Personal Consumption; Euro area Confidence; CPI in Germany and Spain; Friday – US Michigan Conf.

And the daily breakdown from Goldman Sachs:

Monday, August 25

  • Events: US states congressional primary elections, Danish Finance Ministry Statement Release, Portugal Budget Report.
  • United States | Markit US Services PMI (Aug P): Consensus 57.0, previous 60.8
  • United States | New Home Sales MoM (Jul): GS 3.00%, consensus 4.70%, previous -8.10%
  • United States | Dallas Fed Manf. Activity (Aug): Consensus 13, previous 12.7
  • Singapore | CPI NSA MoM (Jul): Consensus 0.40% (2.00% yoy), previous -0.70% (1.80% yoy)
  • Taiwan | [MAP 4] Industrial Production YoY (Jul): Consensus 4.90%, previous 8.63%
  • Israel | MP Decision: We expect rates on hold (at 0.50%, in line with consensus) and do not expect any unconventional policy measures. Market pricing points to a 30% probability of a rate cut over the following three months. We believe the tone of the statement will remain dovish and highlight the soft July CPI print and the recent decline in inflation expectations. Regarding more ‘hawkish’ points, it will be interesting to see whether the Bank discusses the recent pick-up in credit growth and the development in financial stability risks.
  • Peru | [MAP 5] GDP YoY (2Q): GS 1.50%, consensus 1.80%, previous 4.80%

Tuesday, August 26

  • United States | Durable Goods Orders (Jul): GS 23.60%, consensus 7.60%, previous (r) 1.70%
  • United States | [MAP 4] Durables Ex Transportation (Jul): GS 1.00%, consensus 0.50%, previous (r) 1.90%
  • United States | [MAP 3] Consumer Confidence Index (Aug): GS 88.5, consensus 88.5, previous 90.9
  • United States | [MAP 1] Richmond Fed Manufact. Index (Aug): Consensus 8, previous 7
  • Singapore | [MAP 5] Industrial Production YoY (Jul): Consensus 3.70% (2.40% mom), previous 0.40% (-0.10% mom)
  • Hungary | MP Decision: We expect rates on hold (at 2.10%, in line with consensus), with the base rate unchanged for the first time after a two-year-long easing cycle, which reduced the base rate by a cumulative 490bp. The MPC signaled an end of the easing cycle after the latest, 20bp cut in July. At that time, the MPC said that policy rates were low enough to stimulate growth and ensure the return of inflation to the target in the medium term.
  • South Africa | GDP YoY (2Q): Consensus 1.20%, previous 1.60% (-0.60% qoq)
  • Also interesting: [DM] US FHFA House Price Index and S&P/CaseShiller Home Price Index; Sweden PPI; Japan PPI and Small Business Confidence; New Zealand Trade Balance [EM] Philippines Trade Balance; Poland Retail Sales and Unemployment; Brazil Total Outstanding Loans.

Wednesday, August 27

  • Germany | GfK Consumer Confidence (Sep): Consensus 9, previous 9
  • Turkey | MP Decision: We expect a 25bp cut in the benchmark repo rate (to 8.00%, above consensus 7.88%) and in the overnight borrowing rate to 7.25% (below consensus 7.50%). We do not, however, expect any change to the overnight lending rate (in line with consensus). The language will probably be balanced but still leave the door open to further easing. The risk to our forecast would be on the downside (‘on hold’), should market conditions deteriorate further in the run-up to the MPC meeting.

  • Chile | [MAP 4] Manufacturing Index YoY (Jul): GS -2.00%, previous -0.70%
  • Colombia | MP Decision: We expect a 25bp hike (in the Overnight Lending Rate to 4.50%, in line with consensus). This hike would be the fifth consecutive rate hike, and we expect the policy statement to signal a pause in the tightening cycle. The July minutes showed that the MPC is somewhat divided with respect to the cyclical position of the economy and the appropriate stance of monetary policy.
