Central banks pass the baton to politicians. While the G20 has a full agenda mentioning the importance of digitalisation and protecting the environment, all eyes are on the US and Chinese presidents as Donald Trump and Xi Jinpin are expected to have dinner on Saturday.
EU heads of State will hold a summit to decide over the European Commission and ECB presidents.
The starting gun for next year’s US presidential election will be fired as twenty contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination are due to debate over two nights. Donald Trump officially started his re-election campaign last week.

Other important data include the German IFO business climate and the preliminary May durable and capital goods orders in the US.
