Economic calendar: US GDP report in focus

- European equity futures point to a lower opening for the Euro Stoxx 50 benchmark

- Investors' attention will turn today towards the GDP reading from the US

- Also worth keeping an eye on is the CPI report from Spain, the GDP report from Switzerland and the DOE oil stocks report (following yesterday's API reading)

Early indications from the futures market are that Thursday's session on European markets will start lower.
