European stocks off to a slower start to the day
- Eurostoxx flat
- Germany DAX -0.1%
- France CAC 40 -0.1%
- UK FTSE flat
- Spain IBEX -0.4%
The more tepid tones come despite a friendlier trading day in Asia with the Hang Seng up by 1.3% in the closing stages while the Shanghai Composite closes 0.6% higher today.
But take into consideration that European equities had a solid day yesterday and avoided some late disappointment in US stocks towards the latter stages. That said, US futures are keeping higher on the session with S&P 500 futures now up by 0.8%:
