Investors are also watching the latest developments in Europe and how it tackles the debt crisis.
In a move to receive the next instalment of economic bailout, the Greek Parliament last week passed a resolution for a new round of austerity cuts. The €13.5 billionBill, which includes tax rises and pension cuts, was passed despite a huge public protest.
