European markets set for higher opening
-
UK GDP growth reached 0.2% MoM in July (exp. 0.4% MoM)
-
US CPI and retail sales data for August later this week
Futures markets point to a higher opening of the European cash session for major indices from the Old Continent. Similar risk-on moods cannot be spotted on the oil market with Brent and WTI trading around 0.5% lower at press time. Antipodean currencies (AUD and NZD) are leading on the FX market with safe haves like JPY or CHF lagging the most.
Economic calendar for today is almost empty. The only noteworthy reading - UK GDP report for July - was already released at 7:00 am BST. Report turned out to be a disappointment as it showed a growth of 0.2% MoM compared to 0.4% MoM expected. Nevertheless, it did not trigger any major move on GBP with GBPUSD experiencing just a brief 0.2% dip, which was erased minutes later.
