European Indices open, mostly down on the open.

FTSE, Dax and Euro stoxx slightly down on open

• France's CAC 40 down 0.2%
• Eurozone blue chips stoxx 50 down 0.2%
• Italy's FTSE down 0.52%
• Germany's Dax is down 0.3%
• Portugal's PS120 up 0.59%
• Britain's FTSE down 0.1%

European indices open mostly down, but I would expect them to be bid on the gentle relief from the Chnese data dump earlier in the Asian session.
