At 08:45 (GMT+2), April data on the consumer confidence index in France will be released, based on a survey of 2.0K households assessing economic prospects. This indicator is a leading gauge of consumer spending, and elevated readings signal consumer optimism, while weaker values indicate the opposite. In the reporting period, the indicator is likely to adjust from 89.0 points to 88.0 points, putting downward pressure on the exchange rate of the single European currency.
