European Market View
Asian equity markets were cautious amid headwinds from the soured mood on Wall St with the downturn led by hefty losses in the Nasdaq. The Dow cut its gains to turn negative Wednesday, as a fall in technology stocks and a lack of progress over negotiations on Capitol Hill over a stimulus relief package weighed on investor sentiment. The lack of progress on stimulus has been overshadowed by positive vaccine news. But as the rollout of a vaccine nears, Stifel said deliveries this month could fall short of target. The United States set a single-day record on Wednesday of more than 3,000 deaths linked to the novel coronavirus, according to a Washington Post analysis. Texas, Colorado, Illinois and Pennsylvania led the way, with each state reporting more than 200 deaths
ECB knows that only monetary policy won't be the answer to boosting inflation back to target levels and fiscal action is needed as well. Euro has been one of the best performing major currencies, having appreciated 8% against the Dollar so far while rebounding 14% from the March lows.
Looking ahead, highlights rom macroeconomic calendar include UK GDP and output data, Swedish inflation, ECB rate decision & press conference, US CPI, IJC, EU Council Meeting, BoC's Beaudry, FDA EUA meeting

Will the FOMC Surprise the Markets?
The first FOMC meeting comes after a buildup of anticipation from traders and investors alike, as the markets await what posture the Fed will take regarding the interest rates; would there be a hike or a cut in interest rates? Recall that the Federal Open Market Committee had previously ended the year 2022 with a 50bps hike, and an indication from Powell, the committee chairman, that the Fed could consider raising interest rates by 75bps in the course of the year 2023.
