EUROPEAN SHARES SEEN LITTLE CHANGED AHEAD OF TUESDAY'S U.S. INFLATION DATA (0745 GMT)
European stocks are likely to open little changed ahead of U.S. inflation data due Tuesday
that could jolt the outlook for interest rates globally.
The near-term direction for markets could be impacted by U.S. data on consumer prices and
retail sales this week, with much resting on whether inflation continued to slow in January.
Median forecasts are for headline and core consumer prices to rise 0.4% for the month, with
sales rebounding by 1.6%.
EUROSTOXX 50 futures and FTSE futures are about flat.
