Economic calendar: Speeches from RBA and ECB chiefs

  • Markets gain following ASEAN trade deal

  • RBA Governor and ECB President scheduled to speak

European markets are seen opening higher following strong gains during the Asian session. Massive free trade agreement was signed by 15 countries from the Asia-Pacific region over the weekend and it looks like to be the main driver for the markets today.
