API report expected to show decline today
European futures point to a higher opening of a cash session today. However, DAX futures erased part of gains after German trade data for April turned out to be a huge disappointment. Exports dropped 24% MoM (exp. -15.6% MoM) while imports saw 16.5% MoM contraction (exp. -15% MoM). Trade balance came in at €3.2 billion against expected €10 billion.
There are not any major economic readings scheduled for today. European GDP data and US wholesale inventories will be revisions therefore market impact is likely to be minor. API report is expected to show 1.4 million barrel decline.
