What to Look for This Week

Crucial inflation reports are ahead, starting with August’s Consumer Price Index on Wednesday. Look for the Producer Price Index on Thursday, which will give us news on wholesale inflation.

Also of note, Tuesday brings the NFIB’s report on confidence among small business owners for last month. August’s Retail Sales and the latest Jobless Claims will be reported on Thursday. Investors will also be closely watching Tuesday’s 10-year Note and Wednesday’s 30-year Bond auctions for the level of demand.
