Today's North American session features several data reports, which include US construction spending (a November gain is likely after a sharp 1.4% rise in October), the ISM manufacturing survey (expect little changed from 58.2 in November), and US auto sales (look for a slight uptick from the 17.35 mln unit SAAR pace in November), points out the research team at BBH.

“The FOMC minutes from the December 13 meeting will be released late in the session.  The minutes will be scrutinized for policy clues, but little will likely be found.  A day after that FOMC meeting, the market had priced in about a 63% chance of a March hike.  Now it is closer to 75%.”
