To 8: 15, the future contract on the CAC 40 index – delivery end of December, gaining 15 points to 5414 points, announcing the beginning of the week in the green.

Unless huge surprise, the u.s. federal Reserve is expected to announce after tomorrow’s increase of its key interest rates a quarter point at the conclusion of its monthly meeting in two days.

All eyes will be riveted on the euro/dollar while the european central Bank will hold itself to a monetary policy meeting on Thursday.
