The video clips below provide a handy summary of the reports expected on the economic, financial and corporate front around the globe during the week ahead.

US: Quiet before economic storm

There’s little in the way of interesting economic data next week, but corporate earnings are just around the corner. Oh, and Apple’s iPad may sell out.

Europe: Airlines, BoE and ECB in focus

British Airways, EasyJet report March traffic, H&M unveils first-quarter results and European and U.K. central banks make interest-rate decisions.

Asia: Central banks in focus

The Reserve Bank of Australia’s interest rate decision is expected to be a cliff hanger as Japanese and Korean central banks are likely to keep rates steady.
