Expectations are now shifting to Wednesday.

Investors will also focus on feedback on interest rates and how stable the recent rise in inflation has been.
Expectations around the central bank meeting also affected oil prices. The future in New York is down 0.2% today.
Meanwhile, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC +) will meet over the weekend to define production policy. Despite pressure from the United States and Japan, countries such as Kuwait have said they do not need to add barrels fast.
Oil prices rose to a seven-year high in October and demand is now over 100 million barrels a day, the last seen before the Govt-19 epidemic, the PP said.
