Key Quotes
“We expect private consumption to have remained solid but that exports were the main headwind. Note that we revised our euro growth forecast for 2016 significantly lower last week (to 1.5% from 1.8%, consensus 1.6%) mainly due to external factors that add uncertainty.
In the US very few important releases are due this week with the most important being the NFIB small business optimism index due today.”
