Week ahead: Bank of England, Fed's Powel in focus
The spotlight over the coming week will be firmly on central banks, especially at home, with the Bank of England set to approve a £100bn increase in the size of its asset purchase facility to £745bn.
Two days before, on Tuesday, Federal Reserve chairman, Jerome Powell's semiannual testimony before Congress is likely to come under scrutiny.
So too will a slate of economic reports out of China at the start of the week covering fixed asset investment, industrial production and retail sales in May.
Back on home turf, the April employment report is due out on Tuesday, followed by a reading on consumer prices the next day and public sector borrowing data at the end of the week.
Stateside, monthly retail sales and industrial production figures are due out on Tuesday, with jobless weekly claims data and the Philly Fed regional manufacturing sector index scheduled for release on Thursday.
In the euro area meanwhile, Tuesday will see the release of the ZEW institute's closely-followed gauge of economic confidence for Germany.
Rate-setters at the Bank of Japan meanwhile are due to meet on Tuesday and those at the Swiss National Bank on Thursday.
