The European stock markets thus cling to the positive and continue to ignore the negative - the unrest in the United States - as they have done in recent days and as Wall Street has also done. This Tuesday, multiple concerns did not prevent the US indices from closing at their best levels in three months. Michael Hewson, chief analyst at CMC Markets in London, underscores the resilience of the exchanges since the March lows and despite the thought that it would cost them much more to 'raise their heads' given the economic impact of the coronavirus. "Since the March lows we have been constantly making up for lost ground thanks to a combination of unlimited central bank easing and the prospect of large amounts of fiscal stimulus," he says. From Danske Bank, however, they warn that the risk "still reigns in the market".
This Wednesday several very relevant macro references will be released, starting the PMI services for the month of May in Europe and the United States, without forgetting the unemployment rates in Germany and the Euro Zone.

All of this key data is released a day before the European Central Bank (ECB) meets and announces more measures to tackle the pandemic.
