Economic calendar: OPEC+ meeting, US core PCE inflation

  • European indices set for higher opening

  • OPEC+ ministerial meeting - no surprise expected

  • US data pack for February, including PCE inflation

Futures markets point to a higher opening of today's cash trading session for the major European indices. German DAX futures trade around 60 points above yesterday's cash close at press time. Oil is a big theme today after media reports surfaced saying that the US is seeking a massive SPR release. This has triggered a big drop in oil prices during the Asian trading. OPEC+ ministerial meeting is also scheduled for today but no surprise is expected - output hike policy will be left unchanged most likely.
