U.S. Unemployment Claims: Thursday, 12:30.  New jobless claims have amounted to some 26 million in the past five weeks, but there is a silver lining, as the indicator has been declining. Last week, the indicator dropped to 3.5 million, down from 4.4 million a week earlier.

French Flash GDP: Thursday, 5:30. The euro zone’s second-largest economy contracted by 0.1% in the fourth quarter. Economic conditions have deteriorated significantly due to the Covid-19 outbreak and analysts are bracing for a sharp decline of 4.0% in Q1 GDP.

Eurozone Flash GDP: Thursday, 9:00. The initial read of GDP tends to have the most significant impact, even though it does not include data from Germany. Back in Q4, the third read confirmed a growth rate of 0.1%. For Q1, the forecast stands at -3.7 percent.  A decline in this range could send the euro sharply lower.

Eurozone Inflation: Thursday, 9:00.  CPI came in at 0.7% in the final March reading, as inflation remains well below the ECB target of around 2 percent. The forecast for the initial April reading stands at just 0.1%. The core reading showed a gain of 1.0% in March and the April forecast stands at 0.7 percent.

ECB Rate Decision: Thursday, 11:45.  The ECB is scrambling to deal with the turmoil in the financial markets due to the corona crisis. The bank has changed some rules in order to maintain banks’ access to its ultra-cheap liquidity. The ECB will also publish fresh forecasts for growth and inflation and may downgrade some of the data points.

Canadian GDP: Thursday, 12:30. Canada releases GDP on a monthly basis. The February read came in at 0.1%, and March is expected in at a flat 0.0%.
