President Macron is also expected to announce stricter closure measures, "Danske Bank experts explain in their daily report. In Spain, the Autonomous Communities are studying restrictive measures, some for this weekend.

Otherwise, the Bank of Japan concludes its two-day monetary policy meeting on Thursday. Experts say it is likely to announce a cut in GDP and inflation forecasts.
