• German DAX futures +0.1%
  • UK FTSE futures -0.2%

European stocks continue to consolidate at recent highs, with month-end and quarter-end set to come into focus. US futures were more tepid earlier but are now slightly higher in the past half-hour or so. S&P 500 futures are up 0.3% and that is seeing some light optimism start to creep in on the week.
