Eurostoxx futures +0.5% in early European trading

• German DAX futures +0.3%
• UK FTSE futures +0.4%

That follows the rough showing by European equities last week, as political angst weighed on the mood. The same will continue to cast a dark cloud over proceedings this week. For today, the overall mood is more tepid with S&P 500 futures marked down by 0.1% currently.
