- European indices set for higher opening
- Challenger report and jobless claims from the United States
- Industrial production data from France and Spain
Futures markets point to a higher opening of the cash session in Europe today. A pullback in yields is allowing global equity markets to catch a breath. 10-year US Treasury yield is down over 15 basis points off yesterday's daily high. However, it remains to be seen whether it is just a correction or a local peak in yields has been reached.
Economic calendar for today includes some interesting releases. While industrial production data from France and Spain, scheduled for European morning, is unlikely to trigger any major market moves, US Challenger report on lay-offs in September will be watched closely. On top of that, commodity traders will be offered a EIA report on change in US natural gas inventories. Last but not least, EURUSD may see some elevated volatility during speeches of Fed and ECB members in the afternoon.
