Firmer tones as Europe wakes up to a new week

  • DAX futures +0.7%
  • CAC40 +0.4%
  • FTSE +1.0%

Bund futures up 10 at 163.45

Shanghai Comp Index closed down -1.8% at 2688.85. CS1300 Index -1.5% at 2901.05

Both pared earlier losses and that should help European equities along with the firmer Nikkei.

That in turn should keep the euro undermined but we'll see if the recent correlation continued to play out soon enough.
