\n\tUS economic data will once again take centre stage next week, with the calendar kicking off with the Empire State manufacturing survey on Tuesday and then shifting up a gear with housing starts, producer prices and industrial production on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\n\tOn Thursday follow consumer prices, the leading index, current account, Philadelphia Fed survey and those all-important weekly jobless claims.<\/p>\n
\n\tIf economist views are anything to go by, next week's data should simply provide more ammunition for a continuation of the underlying story that sees the US economy steadily improve.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn Australia, we start the week (hopefully) in a very relaxed mode as Monday will keep local markets closed due to Queens Birthday celebrations.<\/p>\n
\n\tAfter that, investors can spend their time digesting April lending finance data, the RBA Board minutes, plus a speech by RBA Deputy Governor Ric Battellino to Financial Executives International, plus credit card lending data for April. This is all scheduled to happen on Tuesday, June 15.<\/p>\n
\n\tOn Wednesday follows the release of March quarter Dwelling starts and the Westpac leading index.<\/p>\n
\n\tTuesday will also see the release of Japanese industrial production figures for April, as well as eurozone employment, UK consumer prices and NZ retail sales.<\/p>\n
\n\tOn Wednesday we get UK housing starts and unemployment, a (non) decision by the Bank of Japan, home sales in New Zealand and consumer prices in the EU.<\/p>\n
\n\tOn Thursday, the queue of US data (see above) will be preceded by retail sales in the UK. On Friday there's a monthly report by the ECB plus the release of central bank meeting minutes in Japan.<\/p>\n
