US Q2 GDP data revision, jobless claims
Futures markets point to a lower opening of the European session, following lacklustre performance of Asian equities. Risk-off moods also hit commodities with precious metals, industrial metals, agricultural goods and oil trading lower.
ECB minutes will be released in the early afternoon but the document is not expected to show any major surprises. However, it may help shape expectations ahead of the next ECB meeting that is 2 weeks away from now. Revision of the US GDP data may trigger some short-term volatility but it is not expected to show major deviations from initial reading.
