MNI European Morning Briefing

     LONDON (MNI) - Its a slow start to the week, with only limited data set for

release.

     The European calendar gets underway at 0630GMT, with the publication of the

Bank of France Business Survey.

     At 0700GMT, ECB Executive Board member Benoit Coeure will give the welcome

address at ECB Workshop, in Frankfurt.

     At 0900GMT, the latest Italian industrial production data will cross the

wire.

     There is little on the other side of the Atlantic set for publication.

     The Canadian CMHC housing starts data will cross the wires, with the NY Fed

survey of consumer expectations expected at 1500GMT.

     All eyes will be on Westminster Monday, with an all-night session in the

Commons to continue the second reading debate on the European Union (Withdrawal)

Bill.

     The vote on 2R will not be until midnight. The opposition party is expected

to vote against it, although rebel Tory MPs are expected to vote with the

government at this stage -- holding their opposition for the 3 read and

committee stages.
