Investors are evaluating US President Donald Trump’s statements that the US economy is facing a “transitional period”, and they are waiting for some decisive economic data this week.
Pricing data
Data related to consumer inflation and wholesale are likely to be in the focus of attention, along with consumer confidence readings and inflation expectations.

However, the Trump government’s trade minister, Howard Lootnick, was more decisive and said, “Certainly no” when he was asked whether Americans should prepare for economic slowdown.
