- U.S. indices futures gain slightly, but trading in stocks and bonds on Wall Street will be closed today due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.
- Markets in Europe opened higher, following a mixed session in Asia, where Chinese indices lost, but Japan, Australia and South Korea and India gained
- Light macro calendar for today; preliminary CPI / HICP inflation from Germany in focus for investors
