[CALENDAR ADDITION] Canadian PM Carney is to address the European Parliament at 10:30BST/05:30EDT

Carney's prior form as a former central bank governor on both sides of the Atlantic means his remarks carry more weight on monetary and fiscal coordination than those of a typical political leader, and past episodes show markets listening for any slippage between his technocratic instincts and his current political brief. The transmission channels to watch are Canada-EU trade and tariff language, which feeds directly into the relevant FX and export-exposed equity names, and any commentary on transatlantic relations given the prevailing friction in that relationship. Speeches of this kind rarely produce a decision or a number; the pattern is a communiqué-style readout afterwards and occasional reporter questions that generate the actual headlines. As a calendar addition rather than a policy event, the signal is low-grade unless the text strays into trade measures or rate commentary.
