  • European stock markets set to open lower

  • Canadian retail sales data, Polish jobs report

  • Lagarde to deliver speech on global economic outlook

European stock markets are set to open lower with futures on major indices from the Old Continent pointing to over-1% bearish price gaps at the launch of cash trading today. Moods are sour after another strong sell-off on Wall Street yesterday, that was accompanied by strong declines on the cryptocurrency market. Moreover, even oil moved lower on the back of risk-off moods even though it managed to hold firm in the previous days.

Week is slowly coming to a close and sentiment may remain a dominant factor in Friday's trading. Economic calendar is light with just some second-tier data scheduled for release, like Canadian retail sales of Polish jobs report. ECB President Lagarde will deliver a speech during a plenary session on the global economic outlook at online World Economic Forum. Fed members are barred from making speeches as the pre-meeting media blackout period has already begun (next Fed meeting - Wednesday, January 26, 2022).
