Key economic data from around the world will be released on Monday, September 15, 2026, spanning labor markets, inflation, trade balances and business sentiment across the euro area, Britain, France, Italy and the United States.
In Germany, the ZEW index for September — a leading indicator of business sentiment based on surveys of institutional investors and analysts — will be published. The measure has tracked fluctuations in investor outlooks amid ongoing uncertainty over global growth and monetary policy.
The United Kingdom will release its latest labor-market statistics for July, covering metrics such as unemployment, claimant count change and average earnings. The data offer insight into wage pressures and the tightness of the domestic jobs market.
French consumer-price data for August will be unveiled, providing another read on inflation dynamics within the euro area's second-largest economy.
Italy's trade-balance figures for July will also be released, rounding out the European snapshot of external-sector performance heading into the third quarter.
On the trade front, the euro zone's July balance-of-payments data will be published alongside the German release, giving traders and economists an aggregate view of the region's export and import flows.
In the United States, two major labor-market readings will dominate the day. The ADP National Employment Report — a private-sector payrolls estimate compiled byAutomatic Data Processing — will offer a mid-month gauge of US job creation ahead of Friday's official Bureau of Labor Statistics report. Separately, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will publish its Empire State Manufacturing Survey for September, which tracks conditions in the regional manufacturing sector through a diffusion-index framework.
Together, the calendar underscores the breadth of macroeconomic indicators shaping market expectations this week, with particular attention to whether labor-market data continues to signal resilience or gradual cooling across major economies.
