Market movers ahead
US retail sales have been weak of late, but we expect to see a pickup in February despite the severe winter weather.
Industrial production numbers are likely to confirm the improving trend in Europe.
Key figures for both January and February are set to arrive simultaneously in China but there is little prospect of any significant change to the economic outlook.
Denmark's brief brush with deflation probably ended in February, though the plight of the Danish krone (DKK) is more in focus.
In contrast, we expect inflation figures (both actual and expected) to attract considerable attention in Sweden.
