- German DAX futures -0.5%
- UK FTSE futures -0.4%
It's not looking pretty as we look to get things going in Europe. As much as there was some hopeful optimism yesterday, that is getting dashed today as investors remain cautious on US-China trade tensions for the most part. The clock is ticking with both sides trying to hopefully work something out before the potential meeting between Trump and Xi later this month. US futures are also holding lower with S&P 500 futures down 0.6% currently. Meanwhile, 10-year yields in the US are also down to 4.03% - marking a fresh one-month low.
