European stocks keep the good mood going to start the day

This is also a catch up in part to the Wall Street gains from the day before

Eurostoxx +0.5%
Germany DAX +0.4%
France CAC 40 +0.7%
UK FTSE +0.6%
Spain IBEX +0.4%
Italy FTSE MIB +0.6%

For UK stocks, investors are also cheering on the softer inflation numbers earlier here. Despite the more optimistic picture above, US futures are more muted on the day thus far. S&P 500 futures are flat as there is a more tentative look and feel to the overall risk mood as a whole. All eyes are on the US CPI report later in the day and that is the main event for markets this week.
