Economic Calendar: Key Market Events for the Week from February 10 to to 14, 2025
The Central Bank of Brazil’s Focus Bulletin kicks off a high-stakes week for global markets, with inflation figures from Brazil and the U.S. poised to shape monetary policy debates. Analysts await Brazil’s IPCA index and America’s CPI data alongside retail sales metrics and GDP reports from Europe, creating a packed agenda from February 10–14.
Monday opens with Brazil’s Focus Bulletin at 8:25 AM local time, outlining market expectations for inflation, growth, and interest rates. China follows at 4:00 AM GMT with fresh lending data, signaling credit demand in the world’s second-largest economy.
Tuesday delivers Brazil’s official February inflation snapshot via the IPCA index at 9:00 AM. Economists project a 0.34% monthly rise, reflecting persistent food and fuel pressures. Japan pauses for National Foundation Day, granting Asian markets temporary respite.
Wednesday shifts focus to Brazil’s service sector growth and foreign exchange flows at 9:00 AM and 2:30 PM respectively. The U.S. CPI release at 10:30 AM GMT will dominate headlines, with forecasts suggesting a 0.3% monthly increase as housing costs linger.
Thursday sees the UK’s GDP and trade balance figures at 4:00 AM GMT, testing recession recovery claims. Germany’s CPI and Brazil’s retail sales data follow, while U.S. markets digest producer prices and unemployment claims at 10:30 AM.
Friday closes with Eurozone GDP revisions at 7:00 AM GMT and U.S. retail sales figures at 10:30 AM. Analysts warn weak consumer spending could delay Federal Reserve rate cuts despite cooling inflation.
This week’s data deluge arrives as Brazil’s central bank weighs stagflation risks and the Fed eyes stubborn service-sector price growth. Market volatility is expected, particularly during overlapping U.S. and Brazilian releases. Traders will scrutinize retail trends for clues on consumer resilience amid tight credit conditions globally.
