Heads up: London markets are closed today

That will see some reduced flows in Europe to start the week, especially after a handful of holidays in Asia as well. However, other major European hubs are all open in the region. In terms of data releases, there won't be too much on the agenda though. We have Swiss inflation data for April at 0630 GMT and then Eurozone Sentix investor confidence for May at 0830 GMT. That's about it before we move on to US trading later.
