This is the Economic Calendar for Thursday, the 22nd of June. Let’s see which news releases stand out.
Swiss Trade Balance for May will be available at 6 AM, and the April data actually came in much weaker than expected as exports took a hit.
European Central Bank will release its latest Economic Bulletin at 8. The previous bulletin noted an improved outlook and, in particular, the economic growth forecast was revised upwards.
Coming up next at 12:30 PM GMT is the closely watched weekly update on US Jobless Claims. Initial claims dropped by 8 thousand during the week ending June 10 while the continuing claims grew by 6 thousand during the week ending June 3.
Canadian Retail Sales for April are out at the same time. Sales rebounded strongly in March, fully reversing a point 4% slip the previous month.
US House Price Index for April follows at 1, and the Index continued growing in March, although at a slightly slower pace than the point 8% gain a month ago.
US Leading Index for May is scheduled at 2. The Index has been growing for the past 8 months, and the report noted the trend should continue.
Euro Zone Preliminary Consumer Confidence for June will be available at this time as well. May data showed some improvement as the Index edged slightly higher.
And there’s little on the schedule until half past midnight, when Japanese Preliminary Manufacturing PMI for June is released. The initial May estimate suggested a disappointing drop, but it was later revised upwards to a 3-month high.
That concludes Thursday’s Economic Calendar with me, Jack Everitt. Check back in for the next overview of news releases for Friday. Goodbye.
