The coming week’s focus in financial markets will be on the Bank of England policy meeting on Thursday.
No change in policy is anticipated, but investors will be keen to see if the Monetary Policy Committee’s thinking has been impacted in any way by the shift in thinking among their counterparts across the Pond at the US Federal Reserve.
On the day before, on Wednesday that is, investors will be pouring over a raft of manufacturing and services sector purchasing managers’ surveys out of the euro area, UK and US.
Investors should also pencil into their diaries Fed chair Jerome Powell’s testimony before the US House of Representatives, on Tuesday.
UK public sector net borrowing figures are also due out on Tuesday.
The results of the US Treasury debt auctions scheduled for Tuesday (two-year), Wednesday (five-year) and Thursday (seven-year) will also be closely monitored.
Lastly, Friday will bring with it US personal income and spending data for May, together with a final reading on US consumer confidence in June, the latter courtesy of the University of Michigan.
