Looking Ahead: January 14 through January 18, 2013

It was a mostly quiet week with no new news from either the Bank of England or the European Central Bank. The Bank of Korea also maintained the status quo. European economic data centered on monthly merchandise trade and industrial output data. German manufacturing orders and industrial output disappointed as did UK industrial and manufacturing output. The spate of merchandise trade and output data continues this week. The pace of new data releases in the Asia Pacific region picks up as China releases its fourth quarter growth data along with key industrial production and retail sales data for December. Australia’s labour force survey will attract wide interest in the financial markets as well.
