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

Published: June 20, 2026 Model: MoneyChoice Forecast Engine — MCP macro forecasts Coverage: PPI, Retail Sales, CPI, Building Permits

Executive Summary

The week ahead is quiet. No major Tier 1 releases after last week's data dump. That dump was a beast — PPI up 3.49% m/m, retail sales rose 1.01%, CPI climbed 0.64%, building permits jumped 4.70%, and industrial production eked out a 0.14% gain. The market's now digesting all that. The picture: sticky inflation and a consumer that's still spending.
