The week of central banks has come to an end, but key data will continue to flow in the coming days. Monday will be marked by preliminary March PMI indicators, which will provide investors with insights into industrial and service sector activity in major economies.
In Europe, previous PMI reports primarily pointed to weak consumption as a key issue, weighing on both the labor market and businesses’ willingness to invest. A potential improvement would support the European Central Bank’s narrative of solid foundations for economic recovery and the effective transmission of a less restrictive monetary policy.
