EU Market View
Asian equity markets were lower across the board with weakness stemming from the uninspiring performance in global peers. European stock markets are seen largely rebounding Tuesday after the previous session’s sharp losses. However, the overall tone remains weak amid concerns that the region’s recovery will be stymied by fresh lockdowns.
Looking ahead, highlights from the macroeconomic calendar include Riksbank & Hungarian rate decisions, US existing home sales, BoE Governor Bailey, ECB's Panetta, Lane speeches, Fed Chair Powell, Evans Barkin speeches.
