Key Economic Data Ahead
The gross domestic product contracted in the Euro area for two consecutive quarters. However, based on the market consensus, the GDP in the Eurozone is expected to grow 1.5% versus -0.3% previous reading, and recover from a technical recession.
An upbeat data may help the Euro to stage a recovery against its counterpart GBP.
At the same time, the data for the inflation in the Euro area as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is expected to hit the central bank’s new inflation target of 2%. Month-to-month inflation is expected to slow down to 0.8% compared to 0.9% previous reading.
On the other side, there are no major risk events scheduled on the UK economic calendar.
