Hello and welcome to the Economic Calendar for Friday, 16th of February, which is a market holiday in China. UK retail sales report for January is out first at 9:30 in the morning. Sales were expected to contract in December, but they disappointed with a bigger than expected drop of 1 and a half percent after gaining a downwardly revised 1% in November. A couple of January publications regarding the US economy are scheduled at 1:30 PM GMT, including the housing starts and building permits. Permits were almost unchanged in the final month of last year, while housing starts dropped by 8.2%. US import prices have advanced for six months in a row now and markets anticipate an increase of point 6% in this release. Canadian manufacturing sales for December will also be available at 1:30 PM. Transportation equipment drove sales sharply higher in November and a 3.4% jump put them at a record high of almost 55 and a half billion Canadian Dollars. Preliminary University of Michigan Survey for February wraps up this agenda at 3 PM. Consumer sentiment has been hovering slightly South of the 100 level for most of the last year and it declined to 95.7 in January, which is just 1.1 points below the 2017 average. I’m Jessica Walker and that’s all for Friday’s Economic Calendar, but do click back when we return with Monday’s overview. Goodbye.
