French prime minister, Sebastian Lecornu, won the crucial support of the Socialist Party in the National Assembly after promising to suspend president Macron's unpopular pension reform.

Elsewhere, US futures are also sitting higher and that's helping with the broader market mood. S&P 500 futures are up 0.3% currently.
