Economic Calendar – U.S. Jobless Claims And Eurozone Retail Sales in Focus

After the release of this week’s ISM manufacturing and services data, the U.S. macro calendar turns relatively light. Today, attention will focus on jobless claims, which should offer a fresh look at the health of the U.S. labor market. In Europe, investors await retail sales figures, which are expected to rise more strongly than in the previous reading.
