[$$] US jobs data; FirstGroup earnings; Greek strike
The Bank of Italy is due to hold its annual meeting in Rome, where governor Ignazio Visco will present the annual report on the main developments in the Italian and the world economy during the previous year and the early months of the current year. Last week mounting fears about political instability in Italy and Spain sent tremors through the eurozone’s two largest peripheral debt markets, and a two-week sell-off of Italian debt accelerated after the populist parties poised to govern in Rome failed yet again to get presidential approval for a slate of ministers, with leaders divided over whether to appoint an arch-Eurosceptic as finance minister. Data from Eurostat showed the preliminary estimate of first-quarter Eurozone gross domestic product was 0.4 per cent up on the same period last year, in line with consensus and economists expect the second release to confirm these figures.
