Economic calendar: Durable goods orders, Fed and BoC bankers speeches

Tuesday's session on the financial markets begins with declines in the most important futures contracts based on European indices, suggesting that the session in Europe will be gloomy, at least at the start of trading. The euro is currently the best performing currency, while we are seeing increased declines in the NZD. Investors are reacting to the RBA minutes and awaiting data from the US on durable goods orders.

Today's events include: US durable goods orders (July), Conference Board consumer confidence index (August), Atlanta Fed GDP forecast, Riksbank minutes, NBH decision (Hungary), talks on Iran's nuclear program, speeches by Fed and BoE members, bond auctions in Italy and the US.
