A preview of what's to come in European trading today

Good day, everyone! Hope you're all doing well after a tumultuous session yesterday. It's a wild end to the month and quarter, and if you're feeling relatively uncertain or uncomfortable about the moves yesterday - best to sit it out and wait for the next trade. Can't stress that enough, especially to newer traders.

Anyway, the Asian market was relatively quiet but equities are continuing to sell off with tech stocks leading the way in that regard. The yen was initially higher but was sold off a little after news of Kim Jong Un and a possible pledge of denuclearisation.

Here's what is coming up in European trading later:

0600 GMT - Germany April GfK consumer confidence

Prior release can be found here. A forward looking indicator, one that gauges consumer sentiment in the German economy. A minor data point.

0645 GMT - France March consumer confidence

Prior release can be found here. Likewise another gauge of consumer sentiment, levels are still elevated but any signs of a further dip isn't really a good signal. Also a minor data point.

0700 GMT - Spain February retail sales data

Prior report can be found here. Not a significant data point, a lagging one for that matter.

0800 GMT - KOF Institute releases spring economic forecast

0800 GMT - Switzerland Credit Suisse March investor sentiment

Readings for the Swiss economy, not exactly major data points but a general gauge of sentiment at the very least. The SNB forecasts are the ones that matter most to the Swiss economy, so take these ones with a pinch of salt.

0800 GMT - Italy January industrial sales data

Prior report can be found here. Minor data points, and a bit lagging behind - not market movers by any means.

1000 GMT - UK March CBI retailing reported sales data

Prior readings can be found here. An indicator of retail and wholesale sentiment, not major data points.

1100 GMT - US MBA mortgage applications w.e. 23 March

Weekly US housing data, measures the change in number of applications for mortgages backed by the MBA during the week. Not the biggest of data points, but a general indicator of the housing sector sentiment.

That's all for the day in European trading. I wish you all the best of days ahead, and as always good luck with your trading!
