- German DAX futures +0.1%
- French CAC 40 futures +0.3%
- UK FTSE futures +0.4%
The standout this week has been the drop in French stocks, owing the domestic concerns as a political crisis looms. The CAC 40 index closed down another 1.7% yesterday, taking the weekly decline to over 3%. So, the light bounce today doesn't mean all too much. The steadier mood comes as US futures are also holding little changed after the slight gains in Wall Street overnight.
