The main focus for this week will be on Germany, given that they narrowly avoided slipping back into recession last week. Today crucial ZEW business confidence data is released, previously at -3.6 but forecast to be positive this time at 0.5.

The data will be likely to confirm a slow and narrow recovery, but economic conditions will be more stable than in the first part of this year.
