Week of Sep 7-13, 2026: Sep 14–18, 2026
Model-driven outlook for key U.S. economic releases
Executive Summary
The week of September 14–18, 2026 features a dense data calendar, with Thursday serving as the busiest release day as Advance Retail Sales (−1.33% m/m) and Industrial Production (−1.64% m/m) both cross the tape. Inflation signals diverge sharply, as Producer Price Index is forecast to rise 2.90% m/m while Consumer Price Index is expected to decline 1.28% m/m, a spread that will warrant close scrutiny. The week concludes Friday with Building Permits, projected at −1.28% m/m, offering a final read on housing activity.
