GBP traders look out for Brexit headlines
According to the futures market, European stock indices are seen opening more or less flat today. S&P 500 futures trade flat as well while Nasdaq futures gain after yesterday's steep sell-off. Sentiment is likely to play a key role today.
Economic calendar is light with the Bank of Canada's decision being the only noteworthy event scheduled. However, the Bank is expected to stay on hold and there won't be a press conference of Governor Macklem afterwards. Having said that, the impact of the event on the CAD market may be limited. Apart from that, traders should look out for Brexit-related headlines as recent actions of UK officials sent GBP into freefall.
