Analysts stated that global equity markets are seeing a mixed trend as corporate earnings, which have largely come in better than expected during the busy earnings season, offset growing concerns that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest rates high for longer, adding that a busy data agenda is now the focus of investors.
Analysts noted that domestic foreign trade balance data will be monitored today, while abroad, retail sales and growth in Germany, preliminary inflation in the Eurozone, and the housing price index and New York Fed consumer confidence index in the US are on the investors' radar.
