ECB President to hold online Q&A session in the morning
-
API report expected to show small build
US and European stock markets are trading at the highest levels since early-March. Investors continue to play down risk of China-US escalation and focus on reopening efforts. No major data releases are scheduled for today. However, ECB President Lagarde will hold an online Q&A session in the morning and it may have some impact on the euro.
There is also a chance that new actions when it comes to China-US will be taken. However, as Trump said he will unveil more details on sanctions by the end of the week, this risk has been put on the sidelines for a few days.
