Euro-zone PMIs: Thursday morning: France at 7:15, Germany at 7:30, and the euro-zone at 8:00. Markit’s forward-looking surveys are well-correlated with actual growth figures and are closely watched by markets. The most significant indicator is Germany’s manufacturing purchasing managers’ index. The score stood at 44.4 points in May, showing that the locomotive of the euro-zone is contracting quite substantially. Any score below 50 represents contraction. The services sector is doing better, and not only in the continent’s largest economy but at 52.8 points, the currency bloc is only experiencing meager growth. Markets will want to see improvements now.

ECB meeting minutes: Thursday, 11:30. The European Central Bank left its policy unchanged but reiterated that risks are moving to the downside. While some economic indicators have been improving, uncertainty remains high in light of the US-Chinese trade war, Brexit, and other factors. The document will likely repeat a cautious outlook.

European elections: Thursday-Sunday. Citizens of the 28 member states, including the UK, will vote in a new European parliament. The body, based in Brussels and in Strasbourg, has limited clout over European matters, but its voice and its composition are important. Anti-immigration, euroskeptic parties are expected to make considerable gains after five turbulent years that saw an immigration crisis, Brexit, the rise of Donald Trump, rising employment, but high uncertainty about the future. A substantial gain for radical parties may weigh on the euro. A special focus will be given to the vote in the UK. If the ruling Conservative Party comes out with a poor outcome, the pressure on PM Theresa May to resign will likely mount. An unimpressive result for the opposition Labour will also increase the internal divide. The vote may prove a turning point in the never-ending Brexit process.
