Today’s Eurogroup meeting will be key in determining where Greece and its creditors negotiations currently stand. Over in the US today, it’s the usual post payrolls lull with just the labor market conditions data expected.

We kick off in Japan tomorrow with leading and coincident index prints, before we move onto the European timezone where we see French business sentiment and UK industrial and manufacturing production. Focus in the US on Tuesday will be on the JOLTS report as well as the monthly budget statement. The NFIB small business optimism survey is also due.

It’s a busy start in Asia on Wednesday as we get trade data out of Japan as well as retail sales, industrial production and fixed assets investment readings in China. It’s no less busy in Europe where we see Euro area Q1 GDP (advanced reading) and industrial production as well as German Q1 (provisional) GDP and the final April CPI print. Over in France, we also get CPI data along with employment indicators. In the UK we get the BoE inflation report as well as the usual monthly employment data dump including unemployment and average weekly earnings. In the US on Wednesday, April retail sales will be the main highlight while the import price index is also due.

Its quiet data wise on Thursday with no notable releases in Asia or Europe while in the US PPI and jobless claims prints are expected.

It’s a similarly quiet end to the week on Friday with just Japan PPI and consumer confidence due in the early session, followed by US industrial and manufacturing production, capacity utilization and the University of Michigan consumer sentiment print. Fedspeak wise we’ve got Williams expected to talk on Tuesday while earnings seasons creeps to an end with 15 S&P 500 companies due to report and 56 Stoxx 600 companies expected.

FULL CALENDAR

Monday, May 11

• Events: Speech by ECB’s Nowotny.
• Denmark | CPI EU Harmonized MoM (Apr): Previous 0.50% (0.30% mom)
• Norway | CPI YoY (Apr): Previous 2.00% (0.30% mom)
• United Kingdom | MP Decision: We expect rates on hold at 0.5%, in line with consensus.
• Israel | Minutes from MP Decision: The BoI kept rates on hold (at 10bp) in April and the accompanying policy statement contained both dovish and hawkish points. The minutes should provide more details on the committee members’ view on these issues. Moreover, it would be a significant dovish signal if the committee repeats that the on-hold decision was partly driven by its assessment that the effect of the interest rate reduction in February has “not yet been exhausted” (like it did in the March Minutes).

Thursday, May 14

• Events: Speech by ECB’s Draghi.
• United States | PPI Final Demand YoY (Apr): GS (0.0% mom), consensus -0.80% (0.10% mom), previous -0.80% (0.20% mom)
• India | Wholesale Prices YoY (Apr): Consensus -2.39%, previous -2.33%
• Malaysia | [MAP 5] GDP YoY (1Q): GS 5.40%, consensus 5.20%, previous 5.80%
• Philippines | MP Decision: We expect BSP to leave policy rates unchanged, the overnight borrowing rate at 4% and the Special Deposit Account rate at 2.5%. Since the March 26 meeting, April headline CPI inflation decelerated to its slowest pace since August 2013 (to +2.2%yoy from +2.4%yoy in March). Still, headline inflation remains within the target range set by the government (between 2% and 4% for 2015 throughout 2018). Given our expectation of the base effects of the oil price decline vanishing by the end of 2015, we maintain our full-year inflation forecast of 2.4%yoy.
• Poland | CPI YoY (Apr): GS -1.1%, consensus -1.30% (0.20% mom), previous -1.50% (0.20% mom)
• Chile | MP Decision: We expect rates on hold at 3.00% and for the directors to reiterate the broadly neutral bias of the April policy statement.
• Mexico | Minutes from MP Decision: In that meeting the MPC left the policy rate unchanged at a stimulative 3.00% and preserved a broadly neutral near-term policy bias. With regard to the external backdrop we expect the majority of Directors to argue that the global economy remains weak but that the balance of risks for global growth and inflation did not change materially from the previous meeting. Furthermore, Directors are also expected to warn against the risk of renewed international financial markets’ volatility that could impact the MXN. In order to mitigate such risk Directors are expected to recommend maintaining a solid macroeconomic stance and consolidating the recent efforts on the fiscal side.
• Peru | MP Decision: We expect rates on hold at 3.25%. An unchanged policy stance would allow the MPC to strike a proper balance between the conflicting goals of stabilizing the exchange rate and the inflation dynamics while stimulating growth and supporting the economy.
