Economic calendar: Markets await US JOLTS, Consumer Sentiments and Nike earnings

Morning releases showed stronger activity in China and a mixed data picture from Europe. The focus was mainly on UK GDP, which came in slightly below expectations, German retail sales, which surprised to the upside, and preliminary French inflation, which was weaker than forecast. Markets are also waiting for Germany’s inflation data. For FX markets, speeches from ECB officials may also be important, as they could affect expectations for the rate path. The key releases of the day will come from the U.S. in the afternoon. Investors will watch the JOLTS report and the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, which may influence the U.S. dollar, bond yields and Wall Street sentiment.
