Wednesday preview: Euro area CPIs, consumer and industrial confidence in focus

Financial markets' focus on Tuesday will shift to the other side of the Channel, where preliminary readings on consumer price inflation for the month of March are due out in Germany and Spain.

Also scheduled for release are readings for consumer and industrial confidence in the euro area.

On home shores, only Lloyd's monthly business barometre is scheduled to be published.

Stateside, the spotlight will be US house price figures for January.

Overnight meanwhile, investors' attention will be on Japanese unemployment data for February.
