— Sep 15, 2026
Canada’s housing data is released as the U.S. markets brace for a Fed rate decision amid stubborn inflation, while China’s August data show weak consumer demand but solid industrial output, highlighting a divergence in the world’s second-largest economy alongside still-elevated geopolitical concerns.
