At 08:45 (GMT+2), March 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. During the reporting period, the indicator is expected to increase from 84.0 points to 85.0 points, providing support for the single European currency.
