Key takeaways
  • Weak consumer sentiments in Germany, slightly better in Italy
  • US Conference Board and housing market data in focus on Wall Steret
  • Futures on European and US indices are slightly lower

Today’s economic calendar is relatively light, with the focus shifting to data from the United States, where investors will see housing market figures and, most importantly, the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index. Markets expect a slight decline in consumer sentiment compared to the previous reading; however, there remains potential for a deeper drop amid the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.
