Economic calendar: German ZEW, Palantir earnings

European markets expected to open lower after US tech sell-off
German ZEW index seen little change in May
Palantir to report earnings before Wall Street session open

European index futures point to a lower opening of today's cash session on the Old Continent. Given that economic calendar for today lacks any top tier readings, investors will focus on price action and whether yesterday's sell-off extends onto the coming days. German ZEW is a key reading scheduled for today but it rarely results in a major market reaction. When it comes to earnings, investors will be offered reports from Palantir and Electronic Arts, among others.

9:00 am BST - Italy, industrial production for March. Expected: 0.4% MoM. Previous: 0.2% MoM

10:00 am BST - Germany, ZEW index for May. Expected: 70.9. Previous: 70.7

9:40 pm BST - API report on oil inventories. Expected: 0.5 mb. Previous: -7.7 mb
