European stock markets seen opening flat

US retail sales expected to increased 1.1% MoM in January
-
FOMC minutes
In spite of a downbeat Asian session, European stock markets are seen opening either flat or slightly lower on Wednesday. FOMC minutes are the key release of the day. Fed sent a dovish message during the latest meeting and a document that will be released today is likely to stress that monetary policy will not be changed until the labour market recovers. Investors will look for hints of any discussion of QE taper. Apart from that, US retail sales data will be released in the early afternoon and it is expected to show an increase in month-over-month terms.
