Although the US home price index will be published today, it will not have an impact on the market even if the growth rate accelerates from 6.1% to 6.5%. Europe is still on holiday. So, only the US market is open. Without the eurozone, activity in the markets comes to a standstill. Of course, not as explicitly as in the case of non-working holidays in the United States, but still, there are no shocks. And the significance of this report is extremely low, as its influence on inflation is elusive. In simpler terms, the market will likely stand still. Only loud and unexpected news can move the market.
