- Futures on Wall Street indices slightly rebound from recent losses, VIX declines, US100 gains 0.4%
- Prospects for the ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia support European indices
- U.S. CPI reading in focus; forecasts suggest slowing price pressure both YoY and MoM
Today, macro calendar is focused especially on US CPI February reading. We can expect that the reading in line with market expectations will support Wall Street, while data well below or above forecasts may pressure sentiments on Wall Street again. Also, oil may be volatile today due to the OPEC monthly report and EIA inventories change. Also, the USDCAD pair may be observed by traders today, not only because of disruptive tariffs fear, but especially because of BoC interest rates decision scheduled today, and BoC governor Macklem speech.
