  • Powell testifies in Congress

European stock markets are expected to launch today's trading slightly higher. Fed Chair Powell heads to Congress for the first day of his semi-annual testimony. Members of the US Senate Banking Committee are likely to pressure him on his opinion and view on US fiscal stimulus during Q&A session. Text of the speech is usually released around one and half hours before the hearing.
