Economic calendar: ECB minutes, US jobless claims and PepsiCo earnings in focus

Today's macroeconomic calendar could drive volatility primarily in EUR/USD, government bonds, and natural gas. Investors will focus on Germany's trade data, the ECB Meeting Minutes, and the weekly U.S. labor market report. Later in the day, attention will shift to U.S. existing home sales, the EIA natural gas storage report, speeches from Fed and Bank of England officials, while PepsiCo (PEP.US) will unofficially kick off the U.S. earnings season.

PepsiCo shares have fallen nearly 20% from their recent highs and are currently trading about USD 5 below the EMA200. A strong earnings report could lift the stock back above this key technical level and support a trend reversal. Key support is currently located around USD 130–132 per share, where the stock previously found buying interest, while the major resistance lies in the USD 147–150 range. A decisive breakout above that resistance could open the way for a move toward USD 170 per share.
