Highlights

This week, Canada's CPI data on Tuesday is likely to indicate whether inflationary pressures are easing enough to prompt the Bank of Canada to lower the overnight interest rate further in July from the still restrictive level of 4.75 percent after the bank conducted its first rate cut the current cycle in early June. The annual inflation rate is forecast to fall slightly to 2.6 percent in May from 2.7 percent in April, which would be the lowest since 2.2 percent in March 2021 before inflation spiked in many countries.

On Monday, Singapore's annual inflation rate is seen rising to 2.9 percent in May from 2.7 percent previously.

Germany's Ifo business climate index held unchanged in May at 89.3, which was 1 point below the consensus but still matching its best reading since May last year. June's consensus is a steady 89.4.

The Dallas Fed manufacturing activity index is expected to extend its long contraction, at a consensus minus 14.5 in June versus minus 19.4 in May.
