US Economic Calendar For The Week Of August 12, 2019

International Business Times poll on major U.S. economic indicators scheduled for release during the week of August 12, 2019.

Economists expect core CPI to post a 0.2 percent increase on a monthly basis in July, building on the 0.3 percent pop in June. This would keep the annualized rate of inflation unchanged at 2.1 percentage.

This week’s economic calendar is likely to paint a mixed picture of the housing market. While the number of building permits issued in July is expected to rise to 1.25 million units from the prior month’s 1.22 million units, housing starts in the month of July will likely drop to 1.241 million units from 1.253 million units seen in June.

Other notable indicators include retail sales, industrial production, weekly initial claims and the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment survey.

Note: International Business Times will discontinue its poll on macroeconomic indicators from Monday, August 19.
