U.S. inflation figures will mark the key economic data release as investors assess when and whether the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates.

Investors will meanwhile watch developments in the Middle East closely and the consequences for oil prices.

U.S. President Trump recently declared the U.S.- Iran ceasefire to be over while the U.S. and Iran have exchanged fire. Oil prices rose, pushing bond yields higher as a result, but markets have since calmed as investors remain optimistic that talks between the two countries will continue.

Asia faces a busy week of economic data, led by a closely-watched series of releases from China that will offer fresh clues on the health of the world’s second-largest economy.
