The market will also see the results of the survey in the manufacturing sector and the service sector, factory orders and trade data from the country with the largest economy in the world for the latest indication at the time of interest rate hikes.

Comments from Fed vice chairman Stanley Fischer on Friday showed that there is still the possibility for a rate hike at the Fed's upcoming meeting that will take place on 16 to 17 September.

Fischer said that a possible rate hike in September "strong enough", although it is too early to say that the central bank will probably do it.

Time of rising interest rates has been a consistent source of debate in the market in recent months.
