** EVENTS PREVIEW **
********************

Weekend and overnight news and statistics will likely prove to be the key factors in today's trading, as the path of destruction being wreaked by Hurricane Iran is closely monitored. China's higher than expected PPI and CPI kick off a week that is dominated by inflation readings from the UK and the USA in statistical terms. However it may be the Chinese authorities moves to roll back some of the measures were introduced to curb outflows and halt last year's CNY slide that proves to be the key talking point. It should be reiterated that the rise in the CNY vs the USD has primarily been a function of USD weakness, and that in broader terms the CNY has continued to lose ground vs EUR and the JPY. Be that as it may, better than expected Japanese Machine Orders offer some hope that a very poor H1 outturn for Orders will morph into a more encouraging profile in H2. The just published and much weaker than expected Norwegian CPI suggest that Norges Bank will be in no hurry to remove monetary accommodation, and indeed may spark speculation of further easing, but inevitably that will play second fiddle to today's knife edge general election result, which in turn may have an influence on govt housing measures.

Updated: The Week Ahead - Bullet point highlights: 11 to 15 September 2017

- As is typical for this week of the month, the statistical schedule will be dominated by China, the US and the UK, while major central bank policy meetings occur in the UK and Switzerland. A busier week for govt bond supply is accompanied by a modest week for earnings. While politics, domestic and international, will continue to cast a long shadow as it has done for a protracted period, with the first vote on the UK's Brexit repeal bill and the final fortnight of the German election campaign providing focal points. The scale of the devastation from the hurricanes in the USA and Caribbean will also be very closely monitored, and it is also monthly oil market reports week (OPEC, EIA and IEA), while equity markets look to quarterly futures and options expiry.

- Statistically the weekend brings Chinese CPI and CPI ahead of monetary aggregates, Retail Sales, Industrial Production and FAI. For the UK the gamut of UK inflation data (CPI, RPI, PPI and House Prices) is accompanied by Unemployment, Average Earnings and RICS House Prices, while the US has Retail Sales, PPI & CPI, Industrial Production and Michigan Sentiment. Elsewhere Japan Private Machinery Orders kick off the new week, and Australian Unemployment and Indian CPI also feature. UK inflation measures are expected to tick up across the board, in part due to adverse base effects, but also as pipeline pressures continue to feed through, with CPI see up 0.5% m/m 2.8% y/y vs. July's 2.6%, and RPI and PPI Input also seen rising. US CPI is also seen pushing back higher, with headline seen up 0.3% m/m headline and 0.2% core, though y/y readings are expected to diverge from 1.7% on both measures in July, up to 1.8% y/y headline, but down to 1.6% y/y core. UK Average Earnings are also expected to continue to recover, with headline seen at 2.3% y/y vs. a prior reading of 2.1%, while ex-Bonus earnings seen at 2.2% vs. 2.1%, clearly an improvement on the weak trend seen through much of H1, but certainly not putting any material pressure to ease back on its current very generous level of monetary accommodation.

- Neither the SNB nor the Bank of England are expected to alter policy settings this week, and the UK MPC vote is also seen unchanged at 7-2. A sharp rise in the RUB in recent weeks, along with a every benign pace of inflation is expected to see Russia's Bank Rossi make a bolder 50 bps rate cut to 8.50%, while rates in Chile, Peru & Turkey are seen unchanged, with last week's 100 bps in Brazil also leaving Russian rates as the highest in nominal and real terms among major EM central banks.
