Market Movers ahead

  • We look for more stabilisation in the Euro Flash PMI released on Friday.

  • Brexit is set to be in focus as EU leaders meet for an informal Summit in Austria on Thursday-Friday.
  • The Fed enters the blackout period ahead of the FOMC meeting on 26 September.
  • In Scandinavia, focus turns to the Norges Bank meeting, where we look for the first hike for more than seven years. Minutes from the recent Riksbank meeting will also be scrutinised.
