• German DAX futures -0.3%
  • UK FTSE futures -0.1%

It's just a minor dent for European indices after a rather hot start to the new year. The DAX is at its highest levels since February last year with the UK FTSE just a whisker away from its all-time high seen in 2018. This comes as US futures are also just a touch softer as we await the return of Wall Street later today.
