Economic calendar: CBRT rate decision in the spotlight

Futures markets point to a lower opening of the European cash session. There are some interesting macro readings scheduled for today, including Polish labour market report and US jobless claims data. Moreover, the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey will announce rate decision.
