We are starting the second day of trading this week. The Asian session was mixed. The Japanese Nikkei regained some ground after yesterday's collapse, while the Chinese Hang Seng extended its losses by another 1.7%. Now we wait for the opening of stock exchanges in Europe.
Today, investors' attention turns to CPI data from Switzerland, France and the Eurozone, as well as IMS data for the services sector from the US. Investors can also pay attention to the publication of JOLTS data from the labor market.
