Market movers today
Globally, we do not have many important data releases due today but the week is going to be interesting. US PCE inflation data may attract some attention today but note that we implicitly got the data in connection with Friday's first estimate of Q3 GDP. Assuming no revisions to previous months, both CPI and GDP figures indicate PCE core rose 0.1% m/m in September (unchanged at 1.3% y/y).
In Europe, confidence indicators for consumers and businesses is due out.
In the Scandies, Norwegian retail sales and Swedish wage growth data are due out this morning.
After last week's ECB meeting (see ECB review: ECB opts for 'lower-for-longer' QE extension , 26 October 2017), focus turns to the Fed on Wednesday and Bank of England on Thursday. We do not expect Fed to send any new signals (see FOMC preview: No new signals, while Trump is set to announce new Fed chair soon , 25 October 2017) but the bank of England will most likely hike the Bank rate by 25bp from 0.25% to 0.50%. See Bank of England Preview: Taking back emergency cut from 2016 , 30 October 2017.
