It’s a long weekend in Australia this weekend, lest we forget, which means there’ll be two offshore sessions to consider when local trading resumes on Tuesday. These will be covered by next week’s Monday Report (on Tuesday).

It’s a big week next week in the US, featuring a Fed meeting, the first estimate of March quarter GDP, and a raft of monthly data to boot. These include new and pending home sales, durable goods, consumer confidence, personal income & spending, including the Fed’s preferred PCE inflation measure, the Richmond Fed index and Chicago PMI.

Next week will also feature monetary policy meetings for the Bank of Japan and RBNZ, while the UK and eurozone will also publish initial GDP estimates.

Australia’s inflation update will be addressed by the release of the March quarter CPI next week. Monthly private sector credit numbers are also due.

The local quarterly update season rolls on next week, with Independence Group ((IGO)) and Origin Energy ((ORG)) offering highlights among resource sector reports and Mirvac Group ((MGR)) among the non-resource reporters. Cochlear ((COH)) and Computershare ((CPU)) will hold investor days while ResMed ((RMD)) will release March quarter earnings.
