Summary of Upcoming Economic Events on September 8, 2025
Asia – Australia & China
Australia – Building Approvals (MoM, Jul) – 01:30 UTC
- Forecast: -8.2% (Prev.: +12.2%)
- Impact: A sharp reversal signals a cooling housing sector, likely weighing on AUD and construction-related equities. Persistent weakness could pressure RBA outlook toward a more dovish stance.
China – Trade Data (Aug) – 14:53 UTC
- Exports YoY: +5.0% (Prev.: +7.2%)
- Imports YoY: +3.0% (Prev.: +4.1%)
- Trade Balance: $99.40B (Prev.: $98.24B)
- Impact: Slower trade growth points to weaker global demand. Softer exports would weigh on CNY and commodity currencies (AUD, NZD), while resilient imports suggest steady domestic demand. A strong trade surplus supports CNY stability.
United States – Credit Conditions
U.S. Consumer Credit (Jul) – 19:00 UTC
- Forecast: $10.40B (Prev.: $7.37B)
- Impact: Higher credit growth implies resilient consumer spending, supportive for GDP and equities. However, excessive credit reliance may raise financial stability concerns. Weak figures would suggest consumers are tightening spending, a bearish sign for growth.
Market Impact Analysis
- Asia: AUD under pressure from weaker building approvals. China’s trade balance remains key for global risk sentiment and commodities—slower export growth may weigh on equities and energy/metals demand.
- U.S.: Consumer credit data is secondary compared to labor/inflation but can influence retail and financial sector equities. A sharp credit surge may lift growth sentiment but also revive debt sustainability concerns.
Overall Impact Score: 6/10
- Why: The day is relatively light. China’s trade data is the main driver, shaping global risk tone and commodity-linked currencies. U.S. credit data provides additional but modest directional clues.
