Economic calendar: Light calendar to end the week

European indices set for slightly higher opening
Speeches from Fed and ECB members
UK retail sales drop less than expected in October

European stock market indices pointing to a slightly higher opening of the cash session on the Old Continent today. DAX futures trade around 60 points above yesterday's cash close. Oil resumed slide after a brief pause while precious metals are trading little changed on the day. Cryptocurrencies experience relatively low volatility today with Bitcoin holding flat in the $16,700 area. GBP and NZD are the best performing major currencies while CHF and CAD lag the most.

Economic calendar for the day ahead is light with only some second-tier data from Canada and the United States left to be released. A key macro event of the day - UK retail sales report for October - was already released at 7:00 am GMT and it showed a positive surprise. While UK retail sales were down 6.1% YoY in October, the result was better than -6.5% YoY expected by the market and above last month's -6.8% YoY. Apart from the Canadian and US data later in the day, central bankers speakers are the best bet on a potential source of volatility in the markets today.

1:30 pm GMT - Canada, PPI inflation for October. Expected: 0.2% MoM. Previous: 0.1% MoM

3:00 pm GMT - US, existing home sales for October. Expected: 4.38 million. Previous: 4.71 million
