European indices finished today's session mostly lower, with DAX 30 falling 0.9%, while CAC 40 and FTSE MIB dropped 0.7% and 1.6%, respectively as prospects of additional lockdowns and restrictions across Europe weigh on sentiment. Additionally the market now sees a 100% chance of an ECB rate hike in December 2022. Travel companies took the biggest hit as the US issued an advisory against movement to Germany and Denmark due to the rising number of new COVID-19 infections. Turkish lira tumbled over 15% following President Erdogan comments regarding monetary policy. On the economic data front, the Eurozone's Markit PMI data beat market expectations.
Mixed sentiment prevails on Wall Street where the S&P and the Nasdaq fell sharply as rising bond yields put pressure on tech stocks. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones is flat thanks to good performance of financial and energy companies. On the data front, preliminary Markit PMIs were expected to show improvements after mixed October reports. However, the manufacturing sector rebounded slightly from 58.4 to 59.1, while services weakened from 58.7 to 57.0. Traders now await more economic releases this week including the latest FOMC minutes and PCE, the Fed-preferred measure of inflation.

Bitcoin bounced off strong support at $55,000 and is currently testing $ 57,500 level, while Ethereum jumped 5% and is approaching $ 4,350 level.
When looking at the OIL chart on the D1 interval one can notice that the price bounced off the key horizontal support zone at $ 77.10, which also coincides with the EMA100.
