- European indices set for flat opening
- Second-tier data from Europe
- Rate decisions from RBNZ, BoC and ECB later this week
European index futures point to a more or less flat opening of today's cash session on the Old Continent. This comes after a rather upbeat trading during Asia-Pacific session, when majority of regional indices moved higher. Chinese equities traded lower, even in spite of People's Bank of China announcing a 500 billion yuan lending program for technology sector.
Economic calendar for today is very light. Investors were offered German industrial production report for February at 8:00 am BST, which turned out to be a positive surprise and triggered an uptick on EUR market. Traders will be offered Sentix index for euro area later today, but its a second-tier release and may be overlooked by the markets.
