European equities nudge up at the open to start the day with slight gains

US futures also halve losses as we get things underway on the session

Wednesday, 11/09/2024 | 07:07 GMT

Eurostoxx +0.3%
Germany DAX +0.3%
France CAC 40 +0.3%
UK FTSE +0.1%
Spain IBEX +0.8%
Italy FTSE MIB +0.2%

It's a mixed start to the day as risk sentiment is nudging back and forth a little. S&P 500 futures are now down just 0.2% from around 0.5% earlier as well. But bond yields are holding lower, so that is keeping things in check in the bigger picture. In FX, USD/JPY remains down by 0.7% to 141.45 but well off earlier lows of 140.70 on the day.
