Economic calendar: PMI data in focus

• Futures point to lower opening of today's cash session in Europe
• Bitcoin hits new historic highs
• Attention turns to PMI data from the world's major economies

We are starting the first session in European stock markets this week. Sentiment in the market is relatively mixed. On the one hand, we are seeing declines in the Chinese indices, which translates into European indices, whose futures also lose before the opening of spot trading. On the other hand, however, good sentiment prevails in the crypto market, where Bitcoin has broken out to new peaks near $106,000.

Today on the calendar, attention turns to PMI data from the world's major economies. Investors will also hear speeches from Lagarde and Macklem.
