Investors will closely monitor the U.S. Core PCE Price Index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, for insights into future monetary policy decisions. Additionally, speeches from central bank officials, including ECB's Lane and German Buba President Nagel, may offer further context to recent policy decisions and future outlooks.
