Flash CPI readings for March from Spain and Germany
Futures markets point to a slightly lower opening of the European cash session today. DAX futures lost some ground after Germany said it will activate an emergency plan to secure natural gas supplies. There were reports overnight that gas flows via the Yamal-Europe pipeline dropped to 0, signaling that Russia may indeed be moving to cut Europe off its gas supply. This would be a breach of trading contracts and may spark retaliation by European countries. This is one of the themes to watch in the second half of this week.
When it comes to today's economic calendar, there are some interesting readings scheduled. Traders will be offered flash CPI readings for March from Spain and Germany. On top of that, ADP will release an employment report as a final hint ahead of Friday's NFP. Last but not least, OPEC JTT will meet today at 12:00 pm BST in Vienna, Austria to prepare recommendations for the ministerial meeting tomorrow. However, no change to output policy is expected.
