Eurostoxx futures -0.9% in early European trading

UK stocks set to lead losses after hotter-than-expected inflation data

Wednesday, 17/01/2024 | 07:12 GMT

German DAX futures -0.8%
UK FTSE futures -1.2%

The sour mood comes after the drop in Wall Street yesterday and the added negativity in trading today. S&P 500 futures are down 0.5% on the day with poor China data from earlier today not really helping with the mood. All eyes will be on the US retail sales data later today to validate or invalidate the early moves.
