Today is probably the most intense day of the current week in terms of macroeconomic publications. Interesting releases are scheduled for both the first part of the day for countries of the Old Continent and the second part of the day for the USA.
At the beginning, market attention will be focused on PMI publications for the Eurozone and the UK. Overall, data for March is expected to be slightly better than the previous month's data. However, in the majority, expectations indicate a publication below the 50-point threshold. Then, attention will shift to the central banks BoE (UK) and CBRT (Turkey). In both cases, the rates are expected to be kept at the same level.
