- European indices open lower
- CHF weakens after in-line CPI reading
- Second-tier data from Europe and United States
European indices launched today's trading lower - German DAX opened 0.3% lower, UK FTSE 100 dropped 0.2% at session launch, while French CAC40 was down almost 0.4%. This comes after a mixed session on Wall Street yesterday and mostly downbeat trading during the Asia-Pacific session earlier today.
Economic calendar for the day ahead is light. Traders were already offered an in-line CPI reading from Switzerland, that cause CHF to weaken slightly. German unemployment rate data for May is scheduled for 8:55 am BST, but it rarely triggers any larger market moves. Revision of durable goods orders and factory orders data from the United States will be released in the afternoon.
