The United States is set for a packed schedule of economic reports as statistical agencies work to update data previously delayed by the government shutdown. Attention will primarily be on personal income and expenditure figures, which encompass the PCE price indices, as well as the latest estimate of third-quarter GDP. Key indicators such as S&P PMIs and the University of Michigan consumer survey will also be highlighted. Additionally, PMIs are expected from the Eurozone, UK, Japan, Australia, and India. Meanwhile, the UK will release its figures on inflation, unemployment, and retail sales. In Asia, focus will turn to China's final GDP figures for the year, and the Bank of Japan is set to make its decision on monetary policy. On the earnings side, reports are anticipated from major companies including Netflix, 3M, Johnson & Johnson, Visa, Intel, Procter & Gamble, and NextEra Energy.
