Monday’s economic calendar remains light. After key data from Japan, market volatility may be driven by the diplomatic exchanges between the EU and Trump regarding Ukraine, as well as the outcomes of the emergency meeting of European leaders convened today in Paris by Emmanuel Macron.

For the markets, the most important events will be the Eurozone trade balance and speeches from central bankers (U.S.) and national bankers (Germany). Reserve Bank of Australia will announce its interest rate decision over night, with a raising expectations of a hawkish, 25 bp cut strenthening AUD. Wall Street will be closed today due to the U.S. public holiday (Presidents’ Day).
