- European indices set for flat opening
- Second day of Powell's semi-annual testimonies in Congress
- NZD drops after RBNZ decision
European stock market indices are set for flat opening of today's cash session, based on current futures market pricing. This comes after a mixed trading during the Asia-Pacific session earlier today. NZD is among the worst performing G10 currencies after RBNZ left rates unchanged and said that it expects inflation to return to 1-3% target in the second half of this year.
Economic calendar for the European morning is almost empty - Italian industrial production print is unlikely to trigger any major market moves. Things get a bit more interesting in the afternoon with the second day of Powell's semi-annual testimonies in Congress. Fed Chair will testify before US House committee at 3:00 pm BST, but text of the testimony will remain the same as yesterday, and it is likely that Powell will try to send a balanced message when answering questions from lawmakers.
