(Sharecast News) - The focus over the coming week will be on the second round of US-China trade talks, especially during the back half of the week, when top officials from both sides are due to square-off.
Against that backdrop, and in timely fashion perhaps, figures on China's foreign trade are due out on Thursday, followed by readings on the country's CPI and factory gate prices the next day, all covering the month of January.
In the UK, a barrage of activity indicators on Monday will be followed by a print on January CPI on Wednesday, the RICS house price survey on Thursday and retail sales data on Friday.
Significantly, Parliament's vote on the Withdrawal agreement, scheduled for Thursday, has been postponed
Stateside, the market spotlight will be on consumer level and factory gate price data for the month of January, on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, together with a reading on US retail sales for December.
A preliminary print on US consumer confidence for the month of February is also scheduled for release, on Friday.
Across the Channel meanwhile, the report that will perhaps draw the most attention is the preliminary reading on fourth quarter German gross domestic product, on Thursday.
The median forecast is for quarter-on-quarter growth of 0.1%, following on from the 0.2% dip seen over the previous three-month stretch.
While the Eurozone's largest economy is widely thought to have avoided falling into a technical recession, which is defined as two consecutive quarters of economic contraction, there is interest in knowing the exact details of the slowdown.
In any case, the associated headlines may rekindle cautiousness on the part of traders which has already seen some analysts push back their expectations for ECB policy tightening to the back half of 2020.
