It’s a week where earning dominate with plenty of stocks on the IG list of all-sessions coverage. Some of the big US companies include Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG), Tesla (TSLA) Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), Intel (INTC) and Ford Motor (F) to name just a few. Then in Europe Shell Oil (SHEL), Barclays (BARC), Lloyds Banking Gp (LLOY), NatWest (NWB), Unilever (ULVR), BNP Paribas (BNP) and Nestlé (NESN) as just some of those in Europe to watch. Economic data includes a raft of flash PMI from Japan, US, UK, eurozone, France, Germany etc. There’s also a first look at Q1 GDP in the US, ahead of the US rate decision the following week, and finally the Bank of Japan rate decision. The Japanese central bank has plenty of reasons to less hawkish that was originally thought at the start of the year.
