Economic calendar: Virus concerns to overshadow data releases

10:18 am 27 February 2020

  • Coronavirus concerns exert pressure on stocks

  • Revised US GDP data for Q4 2019

  • A lot of ECB speakers scheduled to speak

Markets are in risk-off after over 25 countries reported new coronavirus cases yesterday and the United States confirmed the first case of unknown origin overnight. DAX futures point to over 2% bearish gap at cash session open and today’s trading is likely to be focused on virus-related news. US coronavirus task force will meet at 7:30 pm GMT and some news on coming actions may surface afterwards. US GDP report should not have much of an impact on the market as it will be the revision. Euro may move throughout the day as numerous ECB members are scheduled to speak
