Week ahead: Heavy flow of data expected in all geographies
A steady flow of economic data in almost all the main geographical regions will keep investors on their toes over the coming week.
In the UK, money supply figures for the month of May were set for release on Thursday, followed by GfK's measure of consumer confidence the next day, followed by a final reading on first quarter gross domestic product on Friday.
Stateside, the economic calendar was weighted towards the second half of the week, with reports on personal income and spending, Markit's Chicago PMI and consumer confidence all scheduled to be published on Friday.
The headline and core PCE price deflators contained in the first of those was likely to attract a fair bit of attention.
Nevertheless, May data on US durable goods orders, out on Monday, also held the potential to influence markets.
Across the Channel, the main release of the week would be the IFO institute's business confidence index for June, on Monday.
The flow of Japanese data was set to be especially thick, with reports on unemployment, industrial production and CPI inflation in May all expected on Thursday.
Also on Friday, official Chinese purchasing managers index survey results for the manufacturing sector would round-out the week.
