Main market mover yesterday were the results of Italian Constitutional Reform referendum. Italians have rejected Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's make-or-break constitutional reform, and the 41-year-old leader is on his way out.The prospect of political instability in the eurozone's third-largest economy whacked the euro and threatens to deal a serious blow to shares of struggling Italian banks such as Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA, which is scrambling to draw a line under a pile of bad loans and raise capital from private investors at the same time.

In the US session ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI figures were released. America’s service industries expanded in November at the fastest clip since October of last year, putting the economy’s biggest sector on a robust growth path. The Institute for Supply Management’s non-manufacturing index jumped to 57.2, exceeding all forecasts in a Bloomberg survey, from 54.8 in October, the Tempe, Arizona-based group’s data showed Monday. Readings above 50 signal growth. The median forecast called for 55.5.

 

There will be no major data releases both from Eurozone and USA tomorrow, so we can expect a bit steadier session.
