• European stock markets set for lower opening
• Canadian housing data, NY empire index
• Earnings from Take-Two Interactive and Tencent Music

Futures markets point to a lower opening of the European cash session. Much weaker than expected monthly data from China can be named as a reason behind a slgihtly weaker performance of risky assets at the beginning of a new week. Economy calendar for today lacks top tier releases. Investors will be offered some second-tier data from Poland, United States and Canada but those rarely have a big impact on market prices. Take-Two Interactive and Tencent Music will release earnings after close of the Wall Street session today.
