US session was marked by PPI figures.The Producer Price Index for final demand rose 0.2% in October, seasonally adjusted, beating expectations on 0.1% fall. This increase followed a 0.1% decline in September and no change in August. On an unadjusted basis, the index for final demand advanced 1.5% for the 12 months ended in October, the smallest 12-month increase since a 1.2% rise in February 2014. Core PPI increased by 0.4%. Analysts were anticipating 0.2% incline. 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. Figures to watch: Building Permits/Housing Starts (Wednesday 14:30) FOMC Meeting Minutes (Wednesday 20:00)
