Economic calendar: ECB minutes, Canadian jobs data

• European indices open higher
• ECB minutes and Canadian jobs data for April
• Speeches from ECB, BoE and Fed members

European stock market indices launched the final trading session of the week higher, following an upbeat trading on Wall Street yesterday and in the Asia-Pacific region earlier today. Economic calendar for the day ahead includes some interesting releases, that may trigger moves on the market. ECB will release minutes from its latest meeting at 12:30 pm BST. The release comes a day later than usual due to German holidays earlier in the week. CAD may see some moves an hour later when the Canadian jobs report is released. Flash data for May from University of Michigan is not expected to show major deviations from April data, but there is also scope for a surprise. Last but not least, there is a number of ECB, BoE and Fed members
