China’s retail sales growth unexpectedly weakened in November despite signs of improvement in the housing market.

In Europe, France’s new Prime Minister Francois Bayrou is meeting with far-right leader Marine Le Pen on Monday, kicking off an effort to form a government that can push a budget through a divided Parliament. The effort to form a government and craft a budget took on added urgency, after Moody’s Ratings over the weekend cut France’s credit rating, citing its weak finances and political gridlock.
