Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen did not comment on the U.S. economy or monetary policy in brief welcoming remarks to a community banking symposium on Wednesday.

"The most notable data from the U.S. today will be the release of the ADP employment figures for September, which, ahead of Friday's labour market report, are expected to suggest that private non-farm payrolls were up around 190k, the same ADP reading for August," analysts at Daiwa Capital Markets said in a note.
