- European indices set for higher opening
- Second-tier data from the United States
- Possible decision on Grayscale Bitcoin ETF
Index futures point to a higher opening of the European cash session today. This comes after solid performance of tech shares fuelled gains on S&P 500 and Nasdaq during the Wall Street session yesterday and later on regional indices during the Asia-Pacific session as well. These gains come in spite of a renewed sell-off on US Treasuries market, which led 10-year yields to 16-year highs above 4.30%.
Economic calendar for the day ahead is light. Traders will be offered second-tier data from Poland and the United States. Some USD volatility may be present around 3:00 pm BST when existing home sales data for July and Richmond Fed index for August will be released. USD volatility may also be present during speeches from Fed members Barkin, Goolsebee & Bowman. Oil traders will focus on API report on inventories, which is expected to show a big draw but smaller than last week.
