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

Published: July 4, 2026 Model: MoneyChoice Forecast Engine — MCP macro forecasts Coverage: PPI, Retail Sales, CPI, Building Permits

Executive Summary

Everything in this batch is backward-looking — it all printed last week, and it all covers the prior period. Prices went one way, output went the other. CPI came in at +0.48% month-over-month and PPI at +3.19%, while industrial production and building permits are forecast to contract, −0.51% and −1.86%. Advance retail sales managed a +0.45% gain, which tells you consumers are still spending even with inflation eating into the budget. Nothing on the calendar dominates — there is no single release day to circle.
