What to watch on Monday?
-
1:00 pm BST - Polish M3 money stock for June: The consensus calls for a 9.9% YoY rise
-
1:30 pm BST - Regional Fed index from Chicago for June: The Bloomberg median estimate points to a bounce to 0.1 from -0.05 in May. Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that other regional indices saw deep declines last month before a solid widespread rebound this month. Keep in mind that the index from Chicago is the last one from a group of regional indices from the US, hence it is treated more like a lagging rather than leading indicator.
Central bankers’ speeches:
-
4:00 pm BST - BoJ’s Kuroda (he will take the floor at the IMF in Washington)
