Economic calendar: retail sales and business confidence in Eurozone (07.04.2025)

9:55 am 7 April 2025

The market turmoil due to Trump’s tariff frenzy is far from being settled, so the new week’s macroeconomic data might be overshadowed by the comments and negotiations taking place in the White House.

Nevertheless, Monday comes with a bundle of relevant data, especially for the Eurozone and the UK. After Germany’s industrial production and British Halifax Index for housing market, we are still ahead of Eurozone’s Sentix Index for investor confidence (which outperformed expectations in the past two months) and retail sales data for February. For the U.S., we'll receive total consumer credit data, which hit approx. 2 year high in December 2024. We’ll also be hearing from Fed’s, BoC’s and ECB’s representatives later in the day.
