The focus over the coming holiday-shortened week in the States will in all likelihood continue to be on everything having to do with US-China trade relations.

Nevertheless, a raft of economic data is due out in the States on Wednesday, including a preliminary reading on third quarter US gross domestic product, personal income and spending data for October and the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book.

US financial markets will remain closed on Thursday in observance of Thanksgiving, with stock-markets open for just a half day of trading on Friday.

Across the Channel meanwhile, the market spotlight will be on the IFO institute’s German business confidence index for November, on Monday, and a preliminary reading on euro area consumer prices for November on Friday.

On home shores, all eyes will be on incoming voter polls ahead of the next general election, together with readings on monthly consumer credit, house prices and consumer confidence all on Friday.

Further afield, Thursday will bring with it readings on Japanese consumer prices in November as well as industrial production and unemployment figures for October.
