Global Market Sentiment becomes a shower about the conflict between Iran and Israel and the possibility of further involvement of the US.
On Wednesday evening, US President Donald Trump gathered his national security advisers in the Situation Room of the White House for the second time in two days. Previously, Trump said that he had not yet decided whether he wanted to give the Greenlight to an American strike to support the current bombing of Israel of Iranian goals.
Investors also weigh the decision of the US Federal Reserve to keep the interest rates stable, so that the benchmark percentage remains unchanged in a range of 4.25% -4.5%, where it has been since December.
FED chairman Jerome Powell indicated that the FED Committee will wait to see the impact of Trump's broad rates on inflation before the adjustments to monetary policy are considered. Nevertheless, the Central Bank pointed to two interest rates later this year.

It is a big day for action in the central bank on Thursday, with monetary policy decisions from Turkey, Norway, Switzerland and Great Britain.
The central banks of the last two countries will be closely monitored, whereby the Swiss National Bank will probably lower its interest rate this week to zero. The Bank of England is expected to have interest rates, but investors will wait to see how policy makers voted and for all guidelines on the rate reduction process, where most analysts expect a reduction in August.
There are no other important income or data releases in Europe. American markets are closed to the JuneteENTH Holiday on Thursday.
