The market spotlight at the end of the week will be on the war in Ukraine given the sparse economic calendar.
On home shores, just past midnight the Recruitment and Employment Confederation will publish its permanent staff placements and salaries indices.
Across the Channel meanwhile, readings are due out for Italian retail sales in February and Spanish industrial production referencing that same month.
Stateside, the sole economic indicator due for release is a reading on wholesale inventories for the month of February.
