European stocks off to a positive start as Middle East fears brushed aside

In part, there is a catch up to the gains in Wall Street yesterday too

Eurostoxx +1.4%
Germany DAX +1.4%
France CAC 40 +1.2%
UK FTSE +0.9%
Spain IBEX +1.5%
Italy FTSE MIB +1.5%

It's a good start as S&P 500 futures are also nudging a little higher, now up 0.2% on the day. The risk-off vibes from yesterday is quickly being reversed and then some now, as markets are moving forward and eyeing the US CPI data coming up later in the week.
