- European indices set to open higher
- GDP and CPI data from Europe
- US PCE inflation for March to be released at 1:30 pm BST
Futures markets point to a higher opening of today’s cash trading session on the Old Continent. This comes after a stellar Wall Street session yesterday and an upbeat trading in Asia earlier today. JPY is the worst performing G10 currency after the Bank of Japan decided to keep rates and YCC unchanged.
Economic calendar for the day ahead is packed with GDP and inflation releases. Investors will be offered GDP reports from Spain, Italy and Germany. French reading was already released and it matched expectations (0.2% QoQ). Moreover, Spanish and German inflation figures will also be watched closely by EUR traders. Last but not least, traders will be offered PCE data from the United States for March.
Apart from that, Fed is expected to release the SVB review at 4:00 pm BST. However, the market impact of this release is likely to be minimal if any.
