US indices dropped yesterday amid a lack of noticeable progress in the trade talks as the December 15 deadline for the next round of tariffs nears. Weak US PMI data added to the pressure as most indices fell the most in about two months. The RBA kept rates unchanged at today’s policy meeting.

  • The Germany30 index slumped to the biggest daily loss in two months yesterday amid weak sentiment on Wall Street and as the leadership contest in Germany’s SPD party raised fears of an early general election.

  • Yesterday’s final readings for the Markit manufacturing PMIs for both Germany and the Euro-zone suggested some stabilization after being revised higher from the flash estimates. Today’s data calendar has only Euro-zone producer prices for October and a speech from ECB’s Coeure on tap.
