European stocks are set to open slightly higher on Monday morning, amid mounting speculation the U.S. Federal Reserve could sound decidedly dovish at its policy meeting later this week.
The FTSE 100 is seen 32 points higher at 7,260, the CAC is expected open up around 8 points at 5,413, while the DAX is poised to start 9 points higher at 11,694, according to IG.
The U.S. central bank will begin its meeting on interest rates on Tuesday, which ends with a news conference on Wednesday. The Federal Reserve is expected to lower their interest rate forecasts — or"dot plots" — to show little or no further tightening in 2019.Back in Europe, market focus is largely attuned to the latest Brexit developments.
British Prime Minister Theresa May is scrambling to secure support for her Brexit deal once again, with only three days left to win approval from U.K. lawmakers ahead of a summit of the bloc's leaders on Thursday. On the data front, the euro area is expected to publish trade balance figures for January at around 10:00 a.m. London time.
Another area of focus for investors during European trade on Monday will be shares in Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank. It comes after Germany's largest lenders confirmed they were in merger talks over the weekend.
