Today, on Thanksgiving in the US, American markets will remain closed, meaning there will be no major US data releases and liquidity on global financial markets will be limited. In this environment, investors will closely monitor events in Europe and Canada, where key consumer and economic sentiment indicators are scheduled. The main focus will be on the release of the ECB meeting minutes, which could shape market expectations regarding future interest rate decisions in the euro area, and in turn influence global investor sentiment.
