European indices set for flat opening

Bank of Canada expected to deliver 75 bp rate hike

Meta Platforms, Boeing and Kraft-Heinz among today's earnings reporters
Futures markets point to a more or less flat opening on the cash session on the Old Continent. European index futures recovered from an overnight drop triggered by disappointing earnings reports from Alphabet and Microsoft. However, US index futures held onto the drop and continue to trade below yesterday's cash close.
Economic calendar for the European morning session today is empty but things get more interesting in the afternoon. Investors will be offered new home sales data, trade balance and oil inventories data from the United States. However, the most important macro event of the day will be the rate decision from the Bank of Canada. BoC usually follows into Fed's footsteps and mimics its actions, and a similar situation is expected today with money markets and economists expecting a 75 bp rate move.
