Economic calendar: Trump-Biden final debate

  • European markets seen opening lower

  • Final US presidential debate

  • Intel and Coca-Cola among earnings reporters

Global markets remain under pressure amid new record Covid-19 numbers and lack of breakthrough in Brexit and US stimulus talks. European stocks are seen opening lower and today's calendar does not offer any major releases that could trigger a spike in volatility. However, there will be one very closely watched event held overnight - the final US presidential debate. Donald Trump will face Joe Biden at 2:00 am BST. While the Debate Commission decided to mute candidates' microphones when it is not their turn to speak, it may be not enough to ensure calm during debate. Among topics discussed one can find Covid-19 response, American families, race equality, climate change and national security.

Macro releases scheduled for today

12:00 pm BST - CBRT benchmark rate decision. Expected: 12%. Previous: 10.25%

1:30 pm BST - US, jobless claims. Expected: 860k. Previous: 898k
