ECB President Lagarde to speak at 11:00 am BST
European stock markets are expected to open higher today following strong gains booked by US indices yesterday. Upbeat moods can be spotted on both equity and commodity markets with COPPER trading at fresh record highs above $10,250 and DE30 testing 15,300 pts mark.
The NFP report for April is a key event of the day. A very strong reading is expected with almost 1 million jobs gained. Wages are expected to decline on a year-over-year basis but it can be reasoned with base effects from a year ago. Simultaneously, Canadian labour market report will be released. In this case a drop in employment is expected. FX trades should keep in mind that volatility on USDCAD may be elevated near the release (1:30 pm BST).
