Later in the day, the Federal Reserve will release the minutes of the June policy meeting.

The escalating trade war between the US and the EU has raised concerns that the eurozone export sector could hit some significant headwinds. President Trump has threatened to impose tariffs of 20 percent on European car imports if the EU does not remove their tariffs on US automobiles. The EU would clearly prefer not to engage in a full-blown tariff war with the United States. European officials are examining the possibility of a tariff-cutting agreement between the world’s largest car exporters. In essence, this would allow the EU and the US to reach a deal on automobile tariffs without going through the World Trade Organization. On Thursday, automobile manufacturers are sharply higher on the DAX index. BMW is up 4.97%, Daimler has climbed 4.58% and Volkswagen has jumped 4.79%.
