Earnings reports from US megatech stocks - Apple, Amazon and Alphabet
Futures markets point to a higher opening of the European cash session today. Markets are in a risk-on mode following yesterday's FOMC decision. While the US central bank hiked in-line with expectations by 25 basis points, Fed Chair noted that the disinflationary process has begun. Investors will get to hear from two more major central banks today - Bank of England (12:00 pm GMT) and ECB (1:15 pm GMT). Both banks are expected to deliver 50 basis point rate hikes today and investors are eager to see whether slowdown in tightening pace in North America (BoC and Fed) have impacted the attitudes of central bankers in Europe. Apart from BoE and ECB, traders should also keep in mind that Q4 earnings releases from US mega-tech companies (Apple, Amazon and Alphabet) may boost volatility on US indices after Wall Street cash session close.
