Due to a public holiday across most Asian markets and in the United Kingdom, today’s trading session is expected to be marked by low volatility. Trade negotiations and potential deals expected later this week will remain the central focus until the central bank season begins on Wednesday.
On the other hand, talks surrounding the most important deal with China from the markets’ perspective may slow down, as Donald Trump announced he does not plan to meet with Xi Jinping this week. This will put more weight on Chinese PMIs overnight, as the Chinese Comunist Party did not revise down its growth targets despite unfolding trade tensions. The macroeconomic calendar remains light, so PMI and ISM data for the U.S. services sector will take center stage.
