Monday:
Slightly better economic data from China 🇨🇳. Industrial production is up, but Chinese consumption continues to cause problems. The growth rate in the retail sector was two percentage points below economists' estimates. The reason for this is the ongoing real estate crisis.
The Purchasing Managers' Index in Germany is worse than expected. Values above 50 signal growth, values below signal contraction. The index currently stands at 47.8 points, higher than in November but worse than expected. However, the manufacturing sector continues to plummet to 42.5 points. The service sector is at 51 points.

Thursday:
The US economy is growing more strongly than previously thought, with consumer spending in particular boosting growth. Consumer spending rose by 3.7% in the third quarter. GDP increased by 3.1 %. Exports also exceeded preliminary estimates. This means that the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates more than twice in the coming year.
Friday:
