Tuesday preview: US services PMI, German factory orders in focus
The market spotlight on Tuesday will be on the US services sector as the Institute for Supply Management and S&P Global publish their respective purchasing managers' indices for the month of August.
Data out in Germany meanwhile are expected to show that the slump in factory orders in the euro area's largest economy accelerated in July, reaching a year-on-year pace of decline of 13.5%, after a 9.0% drop in the month before.
On home shores, the flow of new data will be limited to the release of a Purchasing Managers' Index for UK construction at 0930 BST.
Further afield, rate-setters in Sydney will be meeting overnight to decide on interest rates.
Consensus is for a 50 basis point hike to 2.35%.
