EU Market View
Asian equity markets were cautious after the choppy performance stateside; Mainland China underperformed. European stock markets are seen opening largely higher Thursday, helped by a generally positive start to the earnings season on Wall Street. The first-quarter U.S. earnings season started in earnest on Wednesday, with the banking sector, often seen as a proxy for the health of the wider economy. Oil prices drifted Thursday, consolidating near one-month highs after Wednesday’s strong gains as U.S. stockpiles data added to signs the demand outlook is improving. The dollar traded largely flat in Europe Thursday, remaining near four-week lows with traders seemingly buying into the idea that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates at rock bottom levels for some time.
Looking ahead, highlights include US IJC, Philadelphia Fed, Retail Sales & New Zealand Manufacturing PMI, CBRT rate decision, Fed's Bostic, Daly, Mester & Logan.
