Friday preview: ECB's Lagarde, euro area money supply in the spotlight

The market spotlight at the end of the week will be on the European Central Bank.

ECB boss Christine Lagarde is scheduled to speak from 0800 GMT at the ECB Legal Conference 2021.

Consumer confidence survey results in France and Italy are also anticipated, alongside M3 money supply figures for October.

On home shores, the Confederation of British Industry will publish its Distributive Trades index for the month of November.

No major economic releases are due out in the US, where the stock market will only open for a half day of trading.

Nevertheless, investors will be monitoring reports on retail sales over Black Friday.

Further afield, a reading for third quarter gross domestic product is due out in Taiwan.
