Some light distractions before we get to the main event later today

It’s all about US data today with the big one being the CPI report. But at the same time, we’ll also get retail sales and the NY Fed manufacturing index as well. As we continue the countdown to that, don’t expect too much from European morning trade. At most, we might just get some positioning plays before the main event.

Otherwise, we will continue the waiting game with little on the agenda in Europe as well. These will just mostly serve as a couple of light distractions in the hours ahead.

That’s all for the session ahead. I wish you all the best of days to come and good luck with your trading! Stay safe out there.
