Rishi Sunak to announce UK budget
European markets are expected to open higher following an upbeat Asian session. Recovery move is being continued and DAX futures trade within a striking distance of an all time high. Today's calendar is full of data revisions. However, there are some readings scheduled that should have an impact on the markets. ADP report at 1:15 pm GMT will be a strong hint ahead of Friday's NFP and therefore has a chance to move the markets. US services ISM at 3:00 pm GMT may also result in elevated volatility. Oil traders want to focus on DOE data at 3:30 pm GMT after API report showed an unexpected build yesterday. Last but not least, UK finance minister Rishi Sunak is set to present the UK budget today, a proposal that may include higher taxes. GBP traders should stay on guard near 12:30 pm GMT.
