European indices set for slightly higher opening

Revisions of European CPI data and US GDP data

CBRT expected to cut rates by 50 bp
Futures markets point to a slightly higher opening of the European cash session today. This comes after a mixed trading in Asia earlier today and a mixed Wall Street trading yesterday. FOMC minutes release triggered a slight hawkish reaction on the markets (USD up, equities down) but it did not translate into any larger move.
Economic calendar for the day ahead includes some interesting releases. The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey is set to announce its next rate decision at 11:00 am GMT today and expectations are for 50 basis point rate cut. European CPI data and US Q4 GDP report will be revisions but may still trigger some moves on EURUSD should they show significant deviations from preliminary values. EURUSD may also see some moves on speeches from ECB and Fed members today. Energy traders will tune in for data on US oil and natural gas inventories. Last but not least, Moderna, Booking Holdings and Beyond Meat can be found among today's earnings reporters.
