The EZ jobless rate held at a record-low in June, but the number of people unemployed rose slightly.
Ukrainian refugees are lifting labour supply less than expected, but we still see joblessness rising in H2.
We think the EZ unemployment rate will rise to 7.0% by year-end; risks to this forecasts are balanced.
We think the ECB will raise its depo-rate by 25bp this week, to -0.25%; a 50bp hike would not be a shock.
The ECB’s new anti-fragmentation tool probably won’t be unveiled in full this week.
Output in euro area construction fell in Q2, but it was only a minor drag on GDP growth.

Advance inflation in Germany and Spain hints at an upside surprise in today’s EZ HICP data for May.
Core HICP inflation in Germany will rise above 4% over the summer, adding to the pressure on the ECB.

Soaring PPI inflation points to sustained upside risks for core consumer goods inflation in Q2.
The electricity price cap in Spain means energy inflation there will fall further than previously thought.
German food and core inflation surprised to the upside in April, offsetting the fall in energy inflation.
Today's EZ release will show a smaller fall than we previously forecast; to 7.0% from 7.4% in March.
EZ energy inflation likely will fall in April, and a cut in German fuel duties could mean a plunge.
Mr. Macron is pulling away in the polls ahead of Sunday's vote; his re-election looks like a good bet.
Business sentiment in France points to slowing GDP growth at the start of Q2, but not a collapse.
Industry provided a boost to GDP growth in Q1, despite the downward revision to January’s outturn.
The outlook for industry is bleak, but should be offset by relatively bright prospects for services.

More will be needed; we think another 1% of GDP will be committed through Q2, at least.
Industrial production in Spain and retail sales in Italy advanced in February; good news for Q1 GDP.
The stage is set for Mr. Macron and Ms. Le Pen to make it through Sunday's vote, just in 2017.
Mr. Macron is in a strong position to beat Ms. Le Pen in a run-off, but the gap is closing, quickly.
