U.S. markets will take a July Fourth breather.

On Tuesday, financial markets and government offices in the United States will be closed for Independence Day, giving Americans the chance to fire up their grills and, later, to watch the fireworks. Other global markets and governments will be open as usual. Zach Wichter

Uber’s legal fight in Europe continues.

On Tuesday, Uber’s battle with the European authorities will reach a new stage. The advocate general of the European Court of Justice is expected to publish an opinion on the ride-hailing service’s operations in France. In May, the advocate general designated Uber as a transportation company, rather than a digital service, that would thus have to comply with regional rules. Prashant Rao

ECONOMY

Minutes will offer insight on the Fed’s thinking.

The Federal Reserve delivered on schedule during the first half of the year, raising its benchmark interest rate in March and again in June. It was the first time since the financial crisis that its plans were not spoiled by economic wobbles. The minutes of the June meeting, which the Fed will publish on Wednesday, may provide some fresh information for those trying to gauge whether the Fed will stay on course during the second half of the year. Inflation remains more sluggish than the Fed would like, but Janet L. Yellen, the Fed’s chairwoman, has pointed to the strength of job growth as a reason to believe that inflation will rebound. Investors are close to evenly divided on the chances of a December rate increase. Binyamin Appelbaum

The pace of hiring in June will offer clues on the job market.

On Friday, at 8:30 a.m., the Labor Department will release figures for hiring and unemployment in June. Wall Street economists estimate the economy added 180,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate remaining 4.3 percent. While economic reports have been mixed lately, experts will closely watch the pace of hiring in June to see if the strong job market so far this year remains on track. One wild card: Calendar quirks and the end of the school year could produce a drag on education jobs, reducing the total payroll figure. Nelson D. Schwartz

‘Very difficult’ trade talks are expected when the G-20 meets.

Trade will be high on the agenda when Group of 20 leaders begin two days of meetings in Hamburg, Germany, on Friday. Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany has already predicted that the talks will be “very difficult.” German-American relations are at a low after a series of reciprocal snubs, including one last week when organizers of an economic conference in Berlin cut short a speech that Wilbur Ross, the secretary of commerce, was delivering by video link. But Mr. Ross also called for the resumption of talks on a trans-Atlantic trade pact, a project dear to the Europeans. Jack Ewing
