Trump to be interviewed on Fox News
As it is usually the case for Mondays, there are not any market moving data releases scheduled for today. Stock index futures point to a higher opening of the European cash session. Investors will be served preliminary CPI readings from Germany but it should not have much of an impact on the markets during the coronavirus crisis. Donald Trump is set to be interviewed on Fox News in the early afternoon and it may trigger some moves on the markets, depending on the content of the interview of course. Apart from that, it is rumoured that G20 trade ministers may hold an emergency video conference today.
Traders should keep in mind that a lot of key readings will be released in the later part of the week, including jobless claims and NFP reports.
