Mother of all weeks ahead
Investors will have to navigate a veritable mine field of potential risks events in what analysts at Danske Bank said is set to be the "mother of all weeks".
Sounding a similar note, coming on the heels of the G7 summit in Quebec over the weekend, FX analysts at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch said the coming week would be "the most important of the year".
In its typically succinct fashion (although it did forget to mention the inaugural match of the World Cup, on Thursday), BofA-ML said: "Very important week ahead: G7 and trade war risks; ECB, FOMC, BoJ; Trump-Kim meeting; UK Brexit vote."
Key among those events will be the 12-13 June House of Commons debate on the Lords' amendments to the EU Withdrawal Bill, including on setting establishment a customs union with the European Union after Brexit and remaining in the European Economic Area as two of the official goals for the government's negotiations with Brussels.
Also on 12 June, and massively important as well, US President Donald Trump will meet North Korea's Kim Jong-Un, in Singapore.
Straddling those events, investors in the UK will be peppered with a steady stream of top-tier economic indicators, including on industrial production, foreign trade, inflation and retail sales.
On that note, in a separate research report sent to clients, Merrill said that November - not August as most in markets were then anticipating - was the most likely date for a hike from the Bank of England "as the recent improvement in PMIs may not last long".
Talking of central banks, policy decisions were expected from the US Federal Reserve on Wednesday, European Central Bank on Thursday and Bank of Japan on Friday.
At the end of the week, on Friday, economists were also expecting confirmation from the White House on whether it would proceed, or not, with tariffs on $50bn-worth of Chinese goods.
Investors would likely also be closely following to the latest slate of economic reports out of China, with a reading on the country's CPI in May due out on 9 June, followed by activity indicators on investment, industrial production and retail sales due out on 14 June.
