Politics will overshadow the release of the US jobs report this week as weary citizens vent their frustrations at the ballot box.
On 4 July Britons will head to the polls, preceded by their counterparts in France over the next weekend.
The results however are expected to be a mirror image of each other, with the French far-right National Rally expected to come out on top, whilst Labour wins on home shores.
Against that backdrop, on Friday the Department of Labor will release non-farm payrolls figures for the month of June (consensus: 180,000).
On Monday meanwhile, a raft of factory sector purchasing managers’ surveys are due out in China, Europe and the US.
Of particular import will be the former and the latter.
They will be followed on Thursday by the results of comparable surveys but for the country’s services sector.
US financial markets will remain closed on Thursday in observance of the 4 July holiday.
