Mario Draghi talks Wednesday, 8:00. The President of the ECB managed to push down the euro with his dovish downplay of the small hawkish shift the ECB made to its statement. He will have another chance to move markets when speaking in Frankfurt. He will speak at the Institute for Monetary and Financial Stability, so he may refer to monetary policy.

US retail sales: Wednesday, 12:30. Last time, the retail sales report for January was overshadowed by the inflation figures. This time it has the full stage to its own. After the headline dropped in January by 0.3%, an increase of 0.3% is expected in February. Core sales are projected to rise by 0.3% as well after staying flat last time.
