Economic calendar: Fed bankers' speech in the spotlight

• Futures point to lower opening of today's session in Europe
• China cut annual and 5-year lending rates
• Fed bankers' speeches in the background

We are beginning a new week of trading on international financial markets. As a reminder, Friday's session saw sizable rallies in precious metals (gold and silver), which knocked out their historic or multi-year peaks. Moreover, Bitcoin broke out above $67,000, paving the way for a retest of psychologically important resistance near $70,000. On both classes of instruments, the observed movements are extended today.
