Week ahead: Global manufacturing, US non-farm payrolls in focus
The focus over the coming week will be on global manufacturing and the US jobs market.
A raft of surveys covering the former are due out at the start of the week on Monday.
In the UK, that will be followed by survey compiler IHS Markit's services sector Purchasing Managers' Index, also for the month of May, on Thursday, alongside a reading on consumer confidence from consultancy GfK.
Also on Thursday, across the Channel, rate-setters in the euro area are due to meet in Frankfurt.
The next day will be the turn of the all-important monthly US non-farm payrolls report, which is expected to show another 10m unemployed, on top of the 20.5m already laid-off in April.
Policymakers at Bank of Canada are also due to meet to decide on rates, on Wednesday.
