- European markets set for lower opening
- Fed rate decision at 6:00 pm GMT
- DOE report on oil inventories
European futures markets point to a slightly lower opening of the cash session on the Old Continent today. Moves are rather limited as traders are bracing themselves for a highly anticipated FED meeting. The US central bank will announce monetary policy decisions at 6:00 pm GMT, followed by the press conference of Chair Powell at 6:30 pm GMT. Easing inflationary pressures and recent banking turmoil bolstered expectations that the Fed will adopt a more cautious policy approach. Markets are now pricing in about a 14% chance of the central bank not raising rates, with a roughly 86% chance of a 25 bps hike. A new set of forecasts as well as dot-chart will show where central bankers see the US economy in the near-term, while investors will watch for dovish hints from Powell. Apart from Fed, DOE oil inventories data at 3:30 pm GMT may trigger some volatility on the oil market. Also several ECB members, including President Christine Lagarde, are scheduled to deliver speeches.
