Economic Calendar for 9 – 13 September 2024

The week of September 9-13, 2024, indeed includes several significant economic events. Here's a breakdown of key economic releases that are scheduled to occur during this period:

1. Japan's second-quarter GDP

Japan's second-quarter GDP came in at 2.9% on an annualized basis, less than the 3.2% expected by economists polled by Reuters and the advance figure of 3.1%. The Cabinet Office's revised data showed, versus economists' median forecast for a 3.2% growth and a 3.1% rise in the preliminary estimate.

Japan's economy grew at a slightly slower rate than initially reported in the second quarter, impacted by downward revisions in both corporate and household spending. These adjustments suggest a more challenging second half for consumption and could affect the central bank's plans for rate hikes.

2. China's Inflation Rate

China's Inflation Rate (Consumer Price Index, or CPI) is a key indicator that tracks the change in the price of a basket of goods and services purchased by consumers. The data for August 2024 is scheduled to be released on Monday, September 9, 2024.
