Futures point to a flat opening of European session

Flash PMIs for May from Europe and the United States

Speeches from Fed, ECB and BoE members
European index futures point to flat or slightly lower opening of today's cash session for major benchmarks from the Old Continent. This comes after a mixed trading on Wall Street yesterday and a rather downbeat Asian session earlier today. Some risk-off moves can be spotted on the commodity markets as well with oil trading little changed and industrial metals pulling back. Precious metals also drop with stronger USD being the main driver of the move.
There is still no agreement on US debt ceiling but both sides to the negotiations say that default is off the table. This story will continue to be watched closely in the markets in the coming days. When it comes to economic calendar for today, traders will be offered flash PMI readings for May from Europe and the United States. French and German releases at 8:15 am and 8:30 am BST, respectively, will draw the most attention in the morning. Apart from PMIs, traders will also be offered speeches from central bankers, including a number of BoE speakers.
