Watch out for the U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls today. It will be announced at 13:30 p.m. (GMT) and the Jobs Report is an important determinant of Fed rate hike in the upcoming decisions.
 
Last week, The New Fed Chair Jerome Powell had testimony on the Semiannual Monetary Policy Report. He vowed to prevent the economy from overheating while sticking with a plan to gradually raise interest rates. His comments fueled speculation in equity markets over US monetary tightening this year happening faster than expected. Investors have started to forecast four rate hikes this year, compared to the three the Fed currently predicts.
