LONDON — European stocks are expected to rally at the start of the new trading week, with global markets keeping a close eye on U.S. inflation data out Wednesday.
European markets are set to follow in the footsteps of their counterparts in Asia-Pacific, where markets were mostly higher overnight.
The rally comes after global stock markets see-sawed last week with steep sell-offs followed by a sharp rebound.
U.S. stock futures were lower as investors awaited key inflation data due later this week.
In focus is the U.S. producer price index report for July, out Tuesday, followed by the country's latest consumer price index data on Wednesday, with investors looking for signs that price growth is stabilizing.
