On Wednesday, investors will learn France's January inflation figures at 8:45 a.m. These will be followed at 8:00 p.m. by the release of the minutes from the latest U.S. Federal Reserve meeting—a crucial event for interest rate expectations.

On Friday, the Flash PMI indices (Manufacturing and Services) for France, Germany, and the eurozone will be released, offering insights into the state of the European economy.

In terms of sectors, airline stocks will be closely watched by markets and analysts as Air France-KLM, ADP, and Airbus are set to report their annual results.

On Wednesday, the market will be looking to see whether Airbus has met its delivery targets for 2025 (close to 800 aircraft) despite ongoing supply chain pressures. Additionally, the level of free cash flow remains the key indicator investors are monitoring for dividend payouts.

On Thursday, it will become clear whether Air France-KLM has confirmed the strength of its operating profitability and whether demand remains robust enough to sustain high prices despite rising costs (fuel, personnel).

Markets will also react to the annual performances of Accor, Carrefour, Coface, Emeis, Eramet, FDJ, GTT, Imerys, Klepierre, M6, Mercialys, and Orange. In Europe, BAE Systems, Danone, Nestlé, and Rio Tinto will also be reporting their results.
