Wednesday preview: US producer prices, China CPI in focus

(Sharecast News) - The market spotlight in the middle of the week will be on the first of the week's two readings on US inflation.

At 1230 BST, the US Department of Labor is scheduled to release wholesale price data for August.

Consensus is that the headline rate of price increases was steady at 3.3% year-on-year.

At the core level meanwhile, producer prices are expected to slip from 3.7% to 3.5%.

In the afternoon, New York time, the US Treasury will conduct an auction of 10-year notes.

Cost-of-living data for the People's Republic of China will be published overnight.

In the euro area, Italian and Spanish industrial production data for July will come out towards the start of trading.

Back in the UK, house price data for August from Rightmove will be forthcoming at 2301 BST.
