European indices point to a higher opening

US oil report on watch after API pointed to big drop

Czech National Bank set to leave rates unchanged
European index futures point to a higher opening of the cash session on the Old Continent today, with Euro Stoxx and DAX futures trading around 0.5% higher at press time. This comes after a rather upbeat Asian session when regional indices gained. AUD is one of the worst performing G10 currencies after Australian CPI data for February came in lower-than-expected. On the other hand, USD is among G10 leaders and it is putting pressure on precious metals prices.
Economic calendar for the day ahead is light as all top-tier releases scheduled for this week will come on Thursday and Friday. Traders will be offered a rate decision from the Czech National Bank with rates being expected to stay unchanged. US pending home sales data at 3:00 pm BST may trigger some short-term volatility on USD, should it show a major deviation from expectations. Oil traders will focus on the official US report on oil inventories after API data released yesterday pointed to a massive drop.
