European shares fluctuated in the open of the session today following a successful trade in the previous day of trade as investors look forward toward Thursday’s US job report release and euro zone’s producer price data.

Market strategist at brokerage IG Markets, Chris Beauchamp thinks that what the market needs to sustain the incline is for the European Central Bank to make some dovish commentary and the US non-farm payrolls report to be a positive one.

Beauchamp’s observation will be tested on Thursday as the ECB Governing Council are set to meet and the US job report is released a day ahead of the US holiday. Preliminary surveys and predictions peg the jobs quantity to around 215,000 for June. Wednesday is expected to be a cautious trading session as the investors anticipate the results of Thursday’s events.
