Friday preview: US consumer confidence, German GDP in focus
The market spotlight at the end of the week will be on another raft of economic data that is due out Stateside.
They include readings on personal incomes and spending for December, the so-called Chicago Purchasing Managers' Index and the University of Michigan's consumer confidence with the latter two reports covering January.
Across the Channel, all eyes will likely be on preliminary fourth quarter GDP prints due out in Belgium, France, Germany and Spain.
In the UK meanwhile, the sole economic indicator due out is Lloyds Bank's business barometre for January.
Further afield, Japanese industrial production data for December are due out overnight.
