The Data slate for the morning

Another relatively quiet morning ahead. Japanese markets are playing catch up from being closed yesterday and the risk on sentiment has helped boost the Nikkei to over +2.00%. The other Asian markets are also on the green as we look for handing over positively to Europe. Shanghai Composite is +1.07%. The data slate is as follows (all times GMT):

The Data slate for the morning

0745: France Budget Balance
