Model-driven outlook for key U.S. economic releases

Published: August 29, 2026 Model: MoneyChoice Forecast Engine — MCP macro forecasts Coverage: PPI, Retail Sales, CPI, Building Permits

Executive Summary

The upcoming week’s U.S. economic calendar is notably sparse, with all major indicators—including the Producer Price Index, Advance Retail Sales, Consumer Price Index, Building Permits, and Industrial Production—having been released in the prior period, leaving no new high-frequency data points for the August 31–September 4 window. Consequently, forecasts for these series remain unchanged from previous readings, with month-over-month growth holding at 0.00% across the board, reflecting a static near-term outlook. Given the absence of scheduled releases, no single day will carry the typical concentration of market-moving data, shifting focus instead to Federal Reserve commentary and external developments for directional cues.
