Risk remains the key focus alongside month-end and quarter-end flows

The market is keeping calmer to start the day, following a solid performance in the equities space during overnight trading. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted over 1% gains while the Dow climbed by over 2%, helped by the surge in Boeing shares.

The dollar was also largely more steady and we're seeing more of the same tones again today, with the overall mood staying more calm and quiet for now.

There won't be much to distract from the focus on risk, with month-end and quarter-end flows set to dominate. ING notes that flows should be dollar supportive this time around but just be mindful that things have the potential to get a bit wild on days like these.

0900 GMT - Eurozone June preliminary CPI figures

Prior release can be found here. Annual inflation may show a modest rebound this month but core inflation remains the key spot to watch, and that is unlikely to go anywhere still. That should keep ECB policymakers adamant on pursuing more accommodative policy during this time and for the foreseeable future too.

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.
