IG's Week Ahead: US retail; NZ rates; UK CPI

IG's Week Ahead 22/5/32: US retail; NZ rates; UK CPI  As earnings wind down from the flurry of first quarter numbers, economics data in the week ahead takes the limelight. Will the New Zealand central Bank raise rates again, will it be the last time as some economists believe, and will it be only a quarter point? Lots to think about for the Kiwi.  Then there’s flash manufacturing data for May across much of the developed western world. UK inflation data will also be a critical number to watch.  Earnings, while kicked into the shadows, will provide numbers from M&S, Nvidia, Best Buy, and Zoom. Any opinion, news, research, analysis, or other information does not constitute investment or trading advice.  Follow us on Twitter (https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FIGcom&data=05%7C01%7CStephen.Feldman%40ig.com%7Cf03faab62bbd4a3278ae08db585a52a0%7C4b4cca9cedaf42f38e219070c5d9d76b%7C0%7C0%7C638200917174727889%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=lly9SKPOHuVgaawl31y3b8%2FsJWSol69%2F2uMEPQuFHQU%3D&reserved=0), Instagram (https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Figcom_official%2F&data=05%7C01%7CStephen.Feldman%40ig.com%7Cf03faab62bbd4a3278ae08db585a52a0%7C4b4cca9cedaf42f38e219070c5d9d76b%7C0%7C0%7C638200917174727889%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=cpEk2cRbVPzjltrvJOr3kJcse%2BzFXttuCUERZF4XEkg%3D&reserved=0), and YouTube (https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2FIGcom%2Ffeatured&data=05%7C01%7CStephen.Feldman%40ig.com%7Cf03faab62bbd4a3278ae08db585a52a0%7C4b4cca9cedaf42f38e219070c5d9d76b%7C0%7C0%7C638200917174727889%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=rXen5RblvW7L4qZZqZQkZu9n9ue%2FbY8ZY3uKYIYtZng%3D&reserved=0)
