• Eurostoxx -0.4%
  • Germany DAX -0.3%
  • France CAC 40 -0.4%
  • UK FTSE -0.6%

This mostly mirrors the mood in US futures, which are nudged lower as well. S&P 500 futures are down 0.9% at the moment.

As for overall sentiment in European stocks, the bond market remains a key spot to watch. Italy 10-year yields are little changed on the day though, keeping at 3.91% as traders are still processing the ECB's efforts to combat fragmentation risks.
