The Dow slipped Tuesday, as rising global coronavirus cases triggered fresh jitters over global growth, prompting investors to hit pause on cyclical stocks. European stock markets are seen opening mixed Wednesday after suffering their worst daily loss so far this year on Tuesday, amid hopes that a positive corporate earnings season will calm concerns about the march of Covid-19 in India.
Looking ahead, highlights include UK and Canadian inflation, BoC rate decision, DoEs, BoE's Ramsden, Bailey speeches.
Oil prices fell for a second day on Wednesday on concerns that soaring COVID-19 cases in India will drive down fuel demand in the world's third biggest oil importer. India, also the world's third-largest oil user, on Tuesday reported its worst daily death toll from COVID-19 and is facing an oxygen supply crisis to treat patients. Large parts of the country are now under lockdown due to a huge second wave of the pandemic.
