Economic calendar: Flash CPI and GDP data from the Eurozone

• European futures point to a mixed opening to today's cash session
• Spotlight on preliminary CPI and GDP data from the Eurozone and CB data from the US
• BP reports Q3 results

Futures markets indicate a mixed opening to today's cash session in Europe. The APAC markets themselves did not bring a common direction to the listed indices, however, broad market weakness could be seen in China. It was in this country that we learned today of slightly worse readings of local PMI data. 

Investors can also expect increased volatility on individual companies. BP (BP.UK) and Orlen (PKN.PL), among others, have already presented their results today.
