  • European markets headed for a slightly higher opening, after an upbeat session in Asia and an upbeat close in the US yesterday

  • US jobless claims data and November PPI producer price inflation in the Wall Street spotlight

During today's session, the focus of the markets will be on the ECB's decision, where Christine Lagarde is likely to strike 'dovish tones' again, and more data from the US, where the market will look for confirmation of the narrative of an 'almost certain' US rate cut, in December.

Swedish inflation in line with expectations. U.S. 10-year bond yields rise about 2 bps to near 4.29%, though the Eurodollar gains nearly 0.2%
