PARIS (Reuters) – The main European scholarships are expected on a prudent increase Tuesday, in the wake of the rebound of the day before, but the trend should remain fragile while the week is marked by several monetary policy decisions, including that of the American Federal Reserve (Fed) on Wednesday.

In addition to the Fed, the Bank of England (BOE), the Swiss National Bank (SNB), the Bank of Sweden (Riksbank) and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) will also be on deck during the week.

Geopolitically, the telephone interview scheduled for Tuesday between Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, about the 30 -day truce plan accepted last week by Kyiv, will be monitored.
