Theeconomic calendarfocuses on factories
In terms of economic data, the Empire Fed is up first at the bottom of the hour. Expectations are for a +1.00 reading in August after -1.99 in September. Estimates range from -4.0 to +5.0.
Later, at 1315 GMT (9:15 am ET), the September industrial production report is due. The median estimate is for a +0.2% reading but forecasts range from -0.2% to +0.5%.
I think earnings and sentiment in the bond market are more likely to be drivers than these numbers but the market hasn't latched onto a theme so far today so any miss could stir things up.
As Mike noted , Draghi and the BOE's Broadbent are on the docket later. The Fed's Fischer is also out at 1615 GMT.
