ECB and BOE speakers are on the agenda today

BCE BOE

Here is the list of things to watch in European trading:

08:30 GMT – Christine Lagarde attends a hearing in the European Parliament

As a presidential candidate for the ECB, Lagarde will answer questions from legislators before the plenary vote on her candidacy. His appearance will take place before the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, which will vote after a recommendation (the Parliament as a whole will decide on this issue only on 16 and 19 September). All this is however a mere formality, but see if it will have something remarkable to say on the monetary / fiscal policy.

11:00 GMT – Philip Lane, chief economist of the ECB, expresses in London
ForexLive

Lane will deliver a lecture at the MMF's fiftieth anniversary conference, where he may discuss the economy and monetary policy, as well as financial issues.

13:15 GMT – BoE Governor Mark Carney Speaks at Parliamentary Hearing

Carney will present the latest report on central bank inflation during a hearing before the Treasury's restricted committee. Haldane, Haskel and Vlieghe will join him during the session, but their testimony will not bring anything new as he will mainly address the points already made when they issued their monetary policy decision in August.

14:00 GMT – Mersch, ECB, attends a hearing before the European Parliament

Similar to Lagarde above, Mersch will answer legislators' questions when he is appointed Vice-Chairman of the ECB's Supervisory Board. I would not expect many relevant comments from the audience as such.

16:30 GMT – Vice President of the ECB, Luis de Guindos, expresses in Frankfurt

De Guindos will deliver the Keynote Address at the US-EU Symposium organized by PIFS. I think it will be more important than anything else in international financial relations, so there should not be much in terms of monetary policy.

Fedspeak will also be on the agenda in the coming day and I will explain it in a separate bill later in the day.
