Summary:
- Final services PMIs from European economies
- Retail sales for March from the Eurozone economy
- Some central bankers on the agenda during the day
Final services PMI - Spain/Italy/France/Germany/Eurozone (8:15 am/8:45/8:50/8:55/9:00): Monday’s economic calendar does not abound in many important economic readings. This is in part due to a holiday in the United Kingdom. However, it is worth glancing at final services PMIs from European economies (the index from Spain will be the first one as there is no a preliminary one there). Having in mind that the services index for the Eurozone fell in April one may expect worse results from countries such as Italy and Spain - expectations point to such a scenario.

In general, the underlying trend in retail sales has remained quite stable in recent months and it has been in lie with solid services PMIs. However, having in mind a deterioration in European services PMIs in April one may expect a bit weaker value for last month (excluding an Easter effect).
