There will be no major data releases from Eurozone tomorrow, so we can expect a less volatile European part of the session. In the US session Building Permits and Housing Starts figures are scheduled for a release as well as FOMC Meeting Minutes. Both Housing Starts and Building Permits data should show figure slightly above 1 million. However, focus of the session will be on FOMC Meeting Minutes as markets are anticipating further hints on rate hike.
