Today's macro calendar is relatively light. The most important events of the day will be the publication of the CPI report from the Eurozone, Jerome Powell's speech, and the release of the JOLTS job report from the US.
Investors' attention in the Old Continent will be focused on the final CPI report from the Eurozone. Analysts expect a slight decrease in the core inflation rate to 2.8% year-on-year in June compared to 2.9% year-on-year in May. Meanwhile, the headline inflation is expected to fall to 2.5% year-on-year compared to 2.6% year-on-year in the previous month.

This report will be the first of several important labor market publications this week. However, it is important to remember that the JOLTS report still pertains to the previous month of May, while the ADP and NFP reports will be for June. Shortly before, a speech by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is scheduled at the European Central Bank (ECB) Forum on Central Banking in Portugal.
