EU Market View
European stock markets are seen opening sharply lower Friday, with investors cutting positions given the uncertainty surrounding the populist trading movement. Global stocks are set for their worst weekly slide in about three months, partly on the turmoil caused by small traders organizing over online forums, such as Reddit, to force hedge funds to reverse short positions on a series of stocks. Looking ahead, highlights from macroeconomic calendar include German jobs report, US PCE, personal consumption, Canadian GDP, Chicago PMI, Uni. of Michigan (final), ECB's de Guindos, Fed's Kaplan and Daly speeches.
Oil prices were mixed on Friday as a pending supply cut by Saudi Arabia and lower U.S. oil stocks helped counter risks of slowing fuel demand due to stalled vaccine rollouts and contagious new coronavirus strains.
