It’s been another
quiet session. The mood in the markets has been mixed and the moves have been
shallow.
We got just two notable releases: the UK jobs data and the US NFIB small business optimism index. The former came out generally better than expected, although the August payrolls figure printed negative. The latter disappointed with the index dropping to a two-months low.
There’s nothing else for the day except BoC’s Macklem speech at 12:25 GMT/08:25 ET.
