Main market movers today - Danske Bank
|Christin Tuxen, Chief Analyst at Danske Bank, highlights the key market moving events/releases scheduled this Friday.
Key quotes:
• The global data calendar is somewhat thin, albeit with eurozone current account data and the US University of Michigan survey on the agenda.
• In the UK, we are due to get the retail sales number for December, which has historically moved GBP in the case of surprises, although it is a poor indicator for actual private consumption growth.
• Markets will also monitor developments regarding a potential US government shutdown today, as Senate Republicans are now struggling to come up with a bill to keep the government open past the funding deadline today at midnight.
