- European indices open slightly lower; light macro calendar in today's session; US benchmark contracts lose slightly
- Investor focus on Canadian labor market data and UoM report on US consumer sentiment and inflation expectations
- Possible higher volatility in agricultural markets (WASDE report 5 PM GMT)
The final session of a record week for equity markets is likely to bring slightly lower volatility, in the absence of results from major US companies and a rather light macro calendar. Investors are awaiting slightly weaker data from Canada, where they forecast a slight increase in the unemployment rate and a lower change in employment. Sentiment in the U.S. economy is expected to fare slightly better than in October, with inflation expectations unchanged. In light of both of these reports, which will 'dominate' the macro calendar today, we can expect higher volatility on the USDCAD pair.
