Morning Juice – Europe Session Prep

Good Morning Traders.
It is Thursday the 27th of November. Here is what to look out for today.

Sentiment
US economic activity was little changed in recent weeks, though overall consumer spending declined further except among higher- end shoppers, the Federal Reserve said. Bank of Japan board member Asahi Noguchi said hiking rates too early or too late is likely to cause problems. Canada will add new tariffs to a list of steel products, including many US-made items, as Prime Minister Mark Carney seeks to protect an industry badly hurt by the trade war and a flood of cheap Chinese metal. New Zealand central bank governor Christian Hawkesby said there is now a high hurdle for further interest-rate cuts, reinforcing the signal that the easing cycle has likely come to an end. Australia’s banking regulator will tighten mortgage-lending rules to curb a potential build-up of financial stability risks as credit growth accelerates and house prices climb to record highs.
