The Week Ahead – 13 May 2022

In this episode of our Week Ahead series, we’ll be looking at the main themes that will drive global markets over the coming week. In the US we have retail sales, many fed speakers to watch and markets attempting to price the combination of higher inflation, but lower growth concerns. In Europe we have the big UK data week with CPI, retail sales and labour markets. European consumer confidence and producer prices to track and the natural gas crisis escalation. We then discuss the lockdowns in China, events in Asia the and current state of Global markets.
