Economic calendar: Central bankers on top of the agenda

• European markets seen opening mixed

• Partial holiday in the United States

• Speeches from ECB members

European stock markets are set for a mixed opening with DAX futures hinting at minor bullish gap and Eurostoxx futures pointing to a slightly lower start of cash trading. Liquidity conditions may be slightly thinner today as the United States is observing a partial holiday. There will be a stock market session on Wall Street but bond markets will remain shut. Regular US data releases, like for example a DOE report, are delayed until tomorrow. As a result, speeches from central bankers are the only noteworthy points in today's calendar.

• 1:00 pm GMT - ECB Chief Lagarde

• 1:30 pm GMT - ECB de Guindos

• 2:45 pm GMT - ECB de Guindos
