EUR French Bank Holiday
French banks will be closed in observance of Assumption Day;
Banks facilitate the majority of foreign exchange volume. When they are closed the market is less liquid and speculators become a more dominant market influence. This can lead to both abnormally low and abnormally high volatility;
Most Forex brokers remain open for every holiday except Christmas and New Year's Day. Stock markets and banks have slightly different holiday schedules;

Wall Street is starting to get nervous as we near the X-date. A US default seemed unimaginable a couple of weeks ago and despite a lot of positive comments from both sides, negotiations will go down to the wire and that means the risk that it falls apart is growing. Treasury Secretary Yellen will soon provide an update on the X-date and that could show talks might have an extra week from the current June 1st deadline to get a deal done. Economic data for the week will focus on the labor market, consumer confidence, and ISM ...

EUR rates, and in particular European government bonds, should be underpinned by supportive technicals this week. Namely, supply is lighter than last week, and month-end maturity extension flow should be lending a helping hand. On the other side of the equation however, there is strong momentum in favour of higher rates.

As a result, the pause in the rise in EUR rates should prove only ...
