In the European session, the only focus is on retail sales data in the eurozone, although it is not a market-moving release at all. We don’t have much on the agenda in the US session, so the focus will be on Fed officials, with five of them speaking today.

As a reminder, the stock market is closed today, and the bond market will be open with reduced hours due to the National Day of Mourning for former US President Jimmy Carter.

Speakers of the Central Bank:

• 14:00 GMT/09:00 ET – Fed’s Harker (neutral – not voting)
• 14:05 GMT/09:05 ET – Fed’s Collins (neutral – not voting)
• 17:40 GMT/12:40 ET – Fed’s Barkin (Neutral – No Voters)
• 18:30 GMT/13:30 ET – Fed’s Schmid (Voter – Hawk)
• 18:35 GMT/13:35 ET – Fed’s Bowman (hawk voter)
