Today, we will receive several important macroeconomic data points from the US and Europe. Additionally, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Central Bank of Turkey (CBRT) will make interest rate decisions.

In the first part of the day, we will learn about inflation data from the Eurozone. Expectations point to a figure of 1.8% year-on-year, compared to 2.2% year-on-year in August. This would be the lowest expected result since April 2021. After that, we will get the CBRT’s decision, where the one-week interest rate is expected to remain unchanged at 50%. Shortly after, the ECB's decision will be announced. As of the time of writing, the market is fully pricing in another rate cut of 25 basis points. The main arguments for this decision are weak data from the Eurozone and low inflation readings.

Later, investors will shift their attention to the US, where we will see retail sales data for September and the industrial production report. Retail sales are expected to increase by 0.3% month-on-month, compared to a 0.1% month-on-month rise in August.
