Markets are starting the new week with gains in U.S. futures and a moderately calm session across the European continent. Investors are awaiting trade agreements and proposed tax cuts in the U.S.
No major data releases are scheduled for today. The only report of note is Germany’s CPI, along with speeches from FOMC members Bostic and Goolsbee.
Later this week, important U.S. labor market data will be released. The ADP report is due on Wednesday, followed by the NFP report on Thursday. Normally published on Fridays, the NFP has been moved forward due to U.S. Independence Day, during which markets will be closed.
