Friday brings the latest Purchasing Managers Indices, so let’s take a closer look with the Economic Calendar. April PMIs from several Euro Zone countries are up first thing in the morning, starting with the French release at 7. German indices are out half an hour later, and the data for the entire currency bloc follow at 8. Both the Services and Manufacturing PMIs came in better than anticipated in March and, more importantly, growth was recorded across the currency union. UK Retail Sales for March will be available at half past 8. Sales rebounded strongly in February, ending a 3-month streak of decline. The closely watched Canadian CPI for March is up next at 12:30 PM GMT. The annual inflation eased slightly in February, but price increases were recorded across most subsectors; in fact, the food index was the only one to post a decline. UK Markit Preliminary PMI for April is released at 1:45. The Markit Index is not as well-established and influential as the ISM version, but it did show a disappointing decline in March. And US Existing Home Sales for March are out at 2. Sales fell to a 6-month low in February as supplies remain limited. I’m Celeste Skinner and this was the Economic Calendar for Friday, the 21st of April. Our next Calendar will cover the most important news releases for Monday, so do check back.
