Slightly softer risk tones at the open
- Eurostoxx -0.2%
- Germany DAX -0.1%
- France CAC 40 -0.3%
- UK FTSE -0.2%
- Spain IBEX -0.2%
- Italy FTSE MIB -0.2%
This mirrors the sluggish mood in US futures, with S&P 500 futures down 0.2%, Nasdaq futures down 0.1%, and Dow futures down 0.2% on the day thus far.
The slight retreat here isn't anything too significant as it comes after a solid run of gains since October and the start of November trading last week.
As mentioned earlier, US indices have been on a roll as of late with the S&P 500 having posted eight straight days of gains - best streak since 1997 - and the Nasdaq having closed higher for eleven consecutive sessions - its best run since December 2019.
