The market will focus on US Producer Price Index (PPI) and Retail Sales data after last week’s US Consumer Price Index (CPI) came out as forecasted.
Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will be making its Monetary Policy Statement on 18 January. The BOJ is widely expected to keep interest rates in the negative territory.
Here are this week’s key events:
UK Claimant Count Change (17 January)
The UK saw a rise of 30,500 people claiming unemployment benefits in November 2022.
Analysts expect December’s data to be lower than November’s reading at 19,800.
Canada Consumer Price Index (17 January)
In November 2022, the CPI in Canada increased by 0.1% from the previous month. This was slower than the 0.7% increase in October.
December’s CPI reading is forecast to be higher by 0.3%.
US NY Empire State Manufacturing Index (17 January)
The New York Empire State Manufacturing Index declined 16 points from November to -11.2 in December 2022, its steepest drop since August and below market expectations of -1.

Bank of Japan Monetary Policy Statement (18 January 2022)
The Bank of Japan shocked markets on December 20 when it widened the range around its 10-year yield target, allowing long-term rates to rise while keeping its interest rate steady at -0.1%.
