3. China's Economic Struggles

- The People's Bank of China (PBoC) has hinted at further monetary easing, which could lead to more CNY depreciation.

- Eurozone industrial production figures are expected today, offering insight into the health of the bloc's manufacturing sector.
- A contraction in production could heighten recession fears, putting additional pressure on the Euro.
- Markets will also be evaluating the data in the context of the European Central Bank's (ECB) policy stance amid ongoing inflation concerns.
5. Geopolitical Tensions in the Middle East
- Escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly around key oil-producing regions, are pushing crude oil prices higher.
