With the ECB out of the way, it remains a very busy time, with Yellen at 10am (will last 2-3hrs), OPEC are due to meet... with the last big data point before the FOMC - monthly jobs data (Friday). USD has snapped lower, -1.2% in the DXY 98.80s... and that is helping metals/oil.. and indeed.. US equities.
