Mixed and tepid tones in Europe in early trades

  • German DAX futures +0.2%
  • UK FTSE futures flat

This contrasts slightly with US futures, which are mostly higher though it is largely on the back of tech leading the charge. S&P 500 futures are up 0.2%, Nasdaq futures up 0.5%, while Dow futures are just up near 0.1% on the day.

As long as sentiment in US futures hold up, I would expect calmer and steadier tones in Europe when the cash market gets underway later.
