Amazon to report earnings after Wall Street session close
Futures markets point to a slightly lower opening of the European cash session today. US index futures are trading above yesterday's cash close after Meta released a better-than-expected Q1 earnings report and rallied over-11% in the after-hours trading. Slight risk-on moods can be spotted on the FX market with Antipodean currencies leading gains while safe haven currencies like JPY, USD and CHF are pulling back.
Economic calendar for the day ahead includes a flash Q1 GDP release from the United States (1:30 pm BST). Report is expected to show deceleration in annualized GDP growth from Q4 2022 and acceleration in core PCE. Data will be watched closely as the Fed is set to meet and decide on rates next week on Wednesday, May 3. Apart from US GDP data, traders will also be offered rate decision from CBRT (no change expected) as well as Amazon earnings after Wall Street session close.
