European indices set for higher opening

ECB expected to deliver 25 bp rate hike

Flash Q2 GDP report from the United States
European index futures point to a higher opening of the cash session on the Old Continent today. Outcome of the FOMC meeting yesterday wasn't surprising - rates in the United States were increased by 25 basis points as expected and Powell was cautious not to give any clear forward guidance. Investors will hear from another major central bank today - the European Central Bank will announce the rate decision at 1:15 pm BST. Expectations for today's ECB decision are the same as for yesterday's FOMC decision - 25 bp rate hike and emphasis on data-dependance of future decision.
Nevertheless, some EUR-volatility may arise in response to ECB meeting. Traders should pay special attention to EURUSD in the early afternoon as there will be also some top-tier US data released at 1:30 pm BST, including a flash GDP report for Q2 2023. GDP data is expected to show a slowdown in growth compared to Q1 2023.
