High-Impact Economic Calendar – September 22, 2025
Timeline: GMT | 
Focused Currencies: CAD, AUD 12:30 GMT
Canada – Producer Price Index Month-on-MonthForecast: -0.1% | Previous: 0.7%
Currency: CAD
Market insight:A shift back into contraction suggests producer costs are easing, potentially relieving inflationary pressures downstream.
12:30 GMT Canada – Producer Price Index Year-on-YearForecast: 3.4% | Previous: 2.6%
Currency: CAD
Why it matters:Rising annual producer prices indicate inflationary momentum may be returning. Sustained pressure here could complicate BoC’s policy stance.
23:00 GMT
Australia – S&P Global Composite PMI FlashForecast: 50.4 | Previous: 55.5
Currency: AUD
Market lens:A sharp slowdown toward the 50 threshold signals weaker overall activity, raising concerns about momentum in both manufacturing and services.
23:00 GMT Australia – S&P Global Services PMI FlashForecast: 51.0 | Previous: 55.8
Currency: AUD
Trading angle:The services sector cooling sharply reflects fading demand. A reading near 50 would pressure AUD as growth risks rise.
23:00 GMT Australia – S&P Global Manufacturing PMI FlashForecast: 52.7 | Previous: 53.0
Currency: AUD
Market read:Manufacturing resilience stands out, though still weaker than earlier months. A stable result cushions downside risks for AUD.
Monday features Canada’s producer price data to gauge inflation momentum, followed by a trio of Australian PMI releases. With services and composite indices sliding, investors will watch whether manufacturing strength is enough to offset broader weakness.
Geopolitical Watch: Conflicts, Protests, and Sanctions Shaping Market Sentiment
In the Americas, Venezuela launched large-scale military drills with Russian jets and naval forces in defiance of U.S. warships in the Caribbean. Moving east, Europe saw France rocked by mass anti-austerity strikes while the EU pushed a 19th sanctions package on Russia, potentially targeting LNG. In the Middle East, Israel struck Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon, testing the fragile ceasefire. Across the Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey warned Cyprus over new Israeli-made air-defense systems as it prepared for a Sept. 23 UNGA meeting with Greece on Aegean disputes. In the Pacific, Australia and Papua New Guinea signed a defence communique after a treaty stalled, with Canberra calling it its first new alliance in 70 years as Beijing closely monitors developments. Collectively, these flashpoints added to global uncertainty, pressuring energy markets, risk sentiment, and safe-haven flows.Disclaimer: The content provided is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as trading or financial advice.
