Week ahead: G7, NATO summit, and Fed's Powell in focus
The coming week's spotlight will be on the geopolitical with G7 leaders set to meet on 25-26 June and with NATO leaders preparing to do the same on 28-30 June.
Investors will also be keeping a close eye on US central bank chairman Jerome Powell, who is due to speak at the European Central Bank's Forum in Sintra, Portugal, on Wednesday.
Reports for US durable goods orders and the PCE price deflator in May are due out on Monday and Thursday, respectively, followed by the ISM institute's factory sector survey for June on Friday.
Against that backdrop, Thursday will bring with it a final reading for first quarter gross domestic product in the UK, followed by consumer credit figures for May the day afterwards.
Across the Channel, all eyes will be on German retail sales and unemployment figures covering the months of May and June, both on Thursday.
Friday meanwhile will see the release of a final reading for euro area consumer prices in June.
In Asia, Thursday will see the release of factory survey data for June in the People's Republic of China, on Thursday and Friday.
