Monday slows substantially from the breakneck pace of economic announcements last week. There are no major reports out of the U.S., keeping the focus on Europe.

Here's what you need to know.

• The U.K. starts things off at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday evening with the Lloyds Employment Confidence report. There is no consensus for the July reading, which last came in at -53.

• Taiwan consumer prices follow at 8:30 p.m., with expectations for a 1.95 percent year-on-year increase.

• Announcements go quiet until Japan's Coincident Index is released at 1:00 a.m. on Monday morning. Economists project the index fell to 93.9 in June from 95.8 a month earlier.

• U.K. home prices hit at 3:00 a.m. Economists forecast a 0.5 percent decline sequentially in July.

• Swedish services production is expected at 3:30 a.m. There is no consensus for the report.
