industrial production: The figures on April 14 kick off a week of U.S. economic data -- including housing starts and industrial production -- that are projected to show the worlds largest economy strengthening after a weather-depressed start to 2014, according to Business Week. In Asia, data will probably show the economies in China and Singapore cooled in the first quarter, while in Brazil, consumer prices probably climbed by the most in more than a year. U.S. Americans flocked to car dealerships and shopping malls in March, generating the biggest gain in retail sales in more than a year, economists forecast a report to show. Economies in Canada and the U.K. are also making progress. In Canada, the central bank on April 16 is projected to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged and update its economic forecast amid signs the recovery is picking up. The same day, figures will probably show the jobless rate in the U.K. dropped.
