European Market View
Asian equity markets traded mostly higher as the region continued to benefit from the recent vaccine hopes. Looking ahead, highlights from macroeconomic calendar include OPEC Monthly Oil Report, ECB’s Lagarde, de Guindos, and Lane speeches.
Oil futures crept to new two-month highs on a sharp draw-down in supplies and anticipation of better demand in a post-pandemic world. Euro paused at $1.1820 ahead of a speech from European Central Bank president Christine Lagarde at 1300 GMT. The U.S. bond market is shut for Veterans Day but the yield on benchmark 10-year Treasuries posted its highest close since March on Tuesday at 0.9720%, leaving the spread with two-year notes the widest since February 2018.
