Busy Week for Economic Data

There is an interesting article in Business Insider today.  It provides a daily listing of the economic data announcements, central bank meetings, and so on for the week. It will be a busy week, indeed.  The first Friday of the month is usually a big deal with the employment report from the Dept. of Labor. Given the tepid GDP growth for the first quarter, I expect the employment numbers will not be great.
Given all that is going on in Europe, the article also highlights a few European items.  There, the big one may be the French election on Sunday.  If Hollande wins, there will be increased tension in the French-German relationship in the EU.
