The growth and inflation forecasts will be in focus. Growth could be revised lower and inflation outlook revised higher.

The euro is looking ahead to the release of the ECB financial stability report and consumer confidence data.

Consumer sentiment is expected to improved modestly to -17.6 from -17.9.
