Global economies have started to shift into a lower interest rate environment after both Canada and the EU voted to cut rates at their meetings last week.
Attention will now turn to the US and the Federal Reserve, which meets for its interest rate meeting on Wednesday.
Current estimates see a 0% chance of rates being cut and following stronger-than-expected jobs data, there are concerns across the market that a September cut is no longer a possibility.
Over in the UK, attention will turn to GDP figures for April, with both political parties likely to scrutinise the data in their favour.
After March saw 0.4% month-on-month growth, April is forecast to have eased back to 0.2%, the same as February.
In equities, an update from Tesco will offer insight into the UK’s battle with inflation, with the effect of the slowing of price increases at the leading supermarket expected to feature.
There are also results from several companies which could face scrutiny or changes under a new government.
FirstGroup, the train operator, will publish its annual results in the unusual position of knowing its UK rail business will be nationalised within the next parliament if Labour is elected.
Pennon Group’s annual report could also face criticism from politicians should its chief executive receive an annual bonus.
Its subsidiary South West Water was forced to apologise last month for a diarrhoea outbreak at the Devon fishing town of Brixham.
