- German DAX futures +0.6%
- UK FTSE futures +0.8%
- Spanish IBEX futures +0.6%
This mirrors the optimism in US futures, which ticked higher after the earlier headline here. S&P 500 futures are up 17 points, or 0.5%, at the moment but I'd argue that the positive undertone is still rather fragile post-Fed. We still have the US non-farm payrolls data to work through later and even though markets are hopeful, sometimes it is the hope that kills you.
