What are the main events for today?

It will likely be a very boring day today on the news front as we don’t have anything on the agenda and the US government shutdown continues. The whole week is pretty empty on the data front, and if the shutdown stretches into next week, even the US CPI could be held off. The markets will likely just keep on moving by inertia in absence of new catalysts.
