What's coming up in North American trade
The economic calendar isn't going to be a big factor in today's trading. Instead, talk about the US-China trade deal will be the driving factor.
S&P 500 futures are down 17 points after a 13 point fall yesterday. FX features a tad of yen strength but the main theme is EUR and GBP weakness.
The main US indicator is JOLTS for March at 1400 GMT. There aren't any concerns about the US employment market after another strong non-farm payrolls report on Friday. The consensus for JOLTS is 7350K.
At the same time, the Canadian Ivey PMI is out. It's no generally much of a market mover but might put a bit of life into the loonie with little else on the agenda.
The Fedspeak calendar won't be much help either. Quarlies is on a panel at 1535 GMT but the topic is financial regulation.
Other things on tap include the BOE's Haldane at 1630 GMT, a US 3-year Treasury auction at 1700 GMT and US consumer credit at 1900 GMT.
