Europe points to negative terrain and Asia closes mixed, on a day when markets have the opportunity to respond to Xi Jinping’s speech.

After the Asian session, it is time for investors in Europe to respond to the speech of the Chinese president, during the beginning of the Communist Party Congress. Today will also be marked by the market’s keen eyes on new developments in Downing Street’s fiscal and financial policy.

Futures contracts on the Euro Stoxx 50 were down 0.3%.

During the opening of the CPC congress, Xi Jinping did not change his talk about the “zero-covid” policy or about the conduct of policy regarding the real estate sector, which is clearly deteriorating.

During the session, it will also be time for investors to stay alert to new developments in Liz Truss’ “mini budget”. According to a tweet by Stephen Swinford, a journalist for The Times, the British Prime Minister has already signed off on deferring tax cuts until 2024.
