“Today, the US presidential election campaign intensifies as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump meet in the first of three TV debates. While most polls still have Clinton in the lead, the gap between the two has narrowed and the election is now a much closer race than expected a month ago. We think markets will begin to focus more on US politics as Election Day draws nearer and we could see some market reaction, especially if Donald Trump continues gaining momentum.

The ECB's Mario Draghi is due to speak in the EU Parliament at 16:00. We do not expect much news, as we still await the assessment of the QE programme at one of the later ECB meetings.
