In company news it should be a little busier than last week though Monday should be pretty quiet with just a quarterly update from miner Centamin and a post-AGM update from Stobart Group; before Tuesday sees interim results from Ocado and trading statements from Marks & Spencer and Kier; on Wednesday there are final results scheduled from Micro Focus, plus updates from Barratt, Burberry, Grafton, PageGroup and JD Wetherspoon; before Thursday sees updates from retailers ASOS, B&M European Value and Dunelm, along with Premier Oil; and the week finishes with quarterly statements from Ashmore, DCC, Experian, Hays and Workspace.

China's economic data will take on extra relevance this time around, given recent tensions in the country's financial markets and elevated trade tensions.

First out will be data on the country's stash of foreign exchange reserves covering the month of June, which may help to shed some light as to how active - or not - Beijing has been of late in currency markets.

They will be followed by figures on the country's money supply and new loans for June, on Monday, and consumer and factory gate price data for June on Tuesday.

Finally, on Friday, the country's customs bureau will publish the latest foreign trade numbers for June.

Stateside meanwhile, readings on wholesale and consumer level prices in June are scheduled for release on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

They will be followed by the latest numbers for import prices and a preliminary reading on consumer confidence in July.

Back in the UK, Tuesday will be busy as the Office for National Statistics publishes its first monthly GDP report, including monthly and rolling three-monthly estimates of GDP for the UK, while the agency also will release the index of services, construction output, the index of production and monthly trade data.

This comes a day before manufacturing production and foreign trade data for May on Wednesday.

In the euro area, the minutes of the European Central Bank's last policy meeting, on Thursday, will likely be of key interest.

On Wednesday, the Bank of Canada will decided on rates.
