Futures based on indexes from the Old Continent point to a slightly lower opening of today's trading session in Europe. Investors are looking uncertainly towards the macro readings scheduled for today, which are likely to dictate how the future monetary policy of the major central banks will be created. In the FX market, sentiment is slightly better. Against the broad market, the Australian dollar is currently posting the biggest gains, while the US dollar and the Japanese yen are doing much worse. The crypto market is slowing down yesterday's upward momentum and at the moment Bitcoin is losing the $30,000 level broken out yesterday.
The macro calendar for today's session is filled with interesting economic readings from the US and Canada. Investors' attention is primarily focused on the CPI inflation reading from the US and the Fed's Minutes following the latest FOMC meeting on interest rates. Nevertheless, it will be interesting in the Canadian market, where we will learn the BoC's decision on interest rates. Investors involved in the energy market will learn today about the report on inventories of oil and petroleum products compiled by the DOE. A number of speeches by central bankers are also scheduled for today.
