Week of Jul 13-19, 2026: Jul 20–24, 2026
Model-driven outlook for key U.S. economic releases
Executive Summary
Last week did the heavy lifting. The Producer Price Index came in at ▲ +3.19% m/m, Advance Retail Sales at ▲ +0.45% m/m, and the Consumer Price Index at ▲ +0.48% m/m. Building Permits slipped ▼ −1.86% m/m and Industrial Production fell ▼ −0.51% m/m. Now the calendar goes quiet. Nothing on this list stands out as the busiest day, because every one of these indicators already printed. The work for the week ahead is digestion: what rising producer and consumer prices mean next to a modest pullback in industrial output and housing permits.
