- European futures point to lower opening of today's cash session
- ECB, CBRT decisions and US GDP report in focus for investors
- US100 breaks out below the 14,700 point zone
Futures markets point to lower opening of today's cash session in Europe. Worse sentiment in Asia, fueled by yesterday's sell-off on Wall Street, is lifting the major benchmarks into zones of key support. The US100 index knocked out the 14,700-point barrier tested repeatedly yesterday, and those declines continue today.
Investors can also expect heightened volatility on individual companies. Mercedes-Benz Group (MBG.DE), BNP Paribas (BNP.FR) and Volkswagen (VOW1.DE), among others, have already presented their results today.
