Today's macroeconomic calendar is relatively light, however, investors' attention will be focused on the statements of FOMC members in the latter part of the day.
In the first half of the day, on European markets, we will have access to industrial production reports from several Eurozone member countries. At the time of publication, we already knew the data from Germany, which, although slightly better than expected, still indicate a decline in industrial production both annually and monthly. Next, we will see the same set of data from Hungary and Spain.
