- Futures point to lower opening of today's cash session in Europe
- Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, has been removed from office
- Investors' attention turns to services PMI data and ADP data from the US

Kevin McCarthy was ousted from his position as Speaker of the House of Representatives, after Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida filed a removal motion, which was later voted down in the House of Representatives. The topic of contention here was an agreement on a budget stopgap dismissing the specter of a government shutdown.
