Germany’s federal statistics department will report on retail sales at 06:00 GMT. Receipts at retail stores are projected to rise 0.8% in February, following a 0.7% drop the previous month. That translates into an annualized increase of 2.2%.

The Swiss government will also report on retail sales on Tuesday. The report, which is scheduled for release at 07:15 GMT, will likely show an annualized decline of 0.8% in February.
