- Meanwhile, the Fed's Beige Book survey shows the U.S. economy has cooled so far this year, although Bloomberg Economist Tim Mahedy says the survey points to another strong jobs report
- The European Central Bank is putting all the pieces in place for new support for the economy as policy makers debate how quickly they need to act in response

- Meanwhile a report showed U.K. house prices surged last month, recording an unprecedented jump at the start of the Spring selling season
