Macro calendar : US GDP and Jobless Claims in the spotlight❗

  • Futures indices indicate higher market openings in the EU.
  • GDP data and jobless claims in focus.

Today's indices are opening slightly higher. However, this can be attributed to a significant correction in yesterday's markets after the lack of agreement on the US debt limit. The debt limit issue was also discussed in the Fed's minutes. The Fed saw a lot of uncertainty regarding further rate hikes during the May meeting and indicated that the potential risk of US bankruptcy could significantly tighten credit conditions, making further rate hikes less necessary.

Today's macro calendar is relatively light, with investors mainly focusing on US Q1 GDP data and jobless claims. A slight increase in jobless claims to 245k for the latest week is expected, compared to 242k previously.
