Week Ahead – Inflation data may keep pound in the firing line, China GDP on tap [Video]

Inflation will dominate the market theme again in the coming week as, after the United States, it will be the turn of others to face their inflation demons. With the risk of recession growing by the day but not a lot changing with the inflation dynamics, UK CPI figures will attract the most attention, while a modest pickup in Japan is unlikely to spur any policy shifts at the Bank of Japan. China will also come under the spotlight as it releases GDP estimates for the third quarter and its leaders convene for the National Congress of the Communist Party.
