Today's macro calendar is exceptionally light, and due to holidays in the USA and UK, markets in these countries will remain closed. The only significant publication will be the May report from the German IFO institute. Expectations indicate a slight improvement in business sentiment over the past month.

Reports from several eurozone member countries, including Germany and France, will be published. The June ECB rate cut is already priced in, and according to the ECB, further cuts will depend on upcoming data. Therefore, this week's reports may have greater significance for the outlook on future rate cuts.

PCE inflation, which measures services purchased by consumers, is the Federal Reserve's preferred measure. Therefore, its readings may have even greater significance than CPI in shaping the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.
