UK inflation figures are in focus midweek, with a smoking hot consumer price index last month having sent interest rate expectations surging.
Things are not forecast to change much in this week's data, so how the market will react is anyone's guess.
The headline CPI rate is expected to show inflation dipping to 8.5% from 8.7% for May, with core CPI barely predicted to ease at all from 6.8%.
Talking of inflation and rates, company news will bring a focus onto the housebuilding sector, where someinvestors have been concerned about the effects of these factors on companies like Berkeley Group Holdings PLC (LSE:BKG), reports final results.
These numbers should, reckon some analysts, offer upbeat guidance and reassurance. Current trading and the outlook will be the main items under scrutiny.
Elsewhere, Halfords Group PLC (LSE:HFD)' annual results arrive a week late, after its auditor requested more time to complete - though the company reassured that nothing untoward should be read into this.
