- European futures point to a mixed opening of the European stock market session
- The macro calendar for today is very light, the key reading remains the ZEW index from Germany
Other than the ZEW index of the German economy, there is no significant macro data scheduled today that could trigger big moves in the financial markets. However, since Germany is experiencing a massive slowdown, especially in industry - markets will certainly pay attention to the reading. Analysts expect a slight m/m improvement but in recent weeks a number of readings from Germany have turned out to be below overly optimistic expectations. If this is the case this time as well, we could see elevated volatility on the DAX (DE30) and EURUSD. Macro data from the UK came out mixed, although benefit claims were lower, with higher wages - unemployment rose 0.1% with a slight increase in employment on the side of the three-month average.
