French HICP inflation is expected to rise from 0.1% yoy in April to 0.4% yoy in May, on the back of higher energy prices.
  
  
• Greece negotiations continued: Greece having decided for a package of all the IMF payments in late June, negotiations should resume and Greece said to send a counter-offer on 8 June. However, the next deadline now appears to be end-June.
  
  With IMF payments all rescheduled to June 30, there are no imminent deadlines. Several Syriza politicians have touted the idea of snap elections if no agreement is possible. Polls say that Greeks still favour EUR membership.
