• ECB speakers on the agenda
Economic calendar is quite light today. US CPI data will be the key releases of the day which could impact on equity sentiment. Besides that, there will also be a host of ECB speakers on the agenda. President Lagarde will speak at the Eurogroup press conference and may provide more details on policy and the economic outlook. However speech from ECB head economist Phillip Lane on monetary policy seems to be most interesting.
