European Central Bank (ECB) will announce the rate decision on Thursday.
- Economic data:
Australia’s inflation report on Wednesday. U.S. GDP numbers on Friday.
- Geopolitics:
European officials including Commission President Jean Claude Juncker will be meeting President Trump in Washington this week. Pakistan will hold the general election this week.
- Earnings:
