A bit of a catch-up for European stocks

  • Eurostoxx +0.7%
  • Germany DAX +0.9%
  • France CAC 40 +0.5%
  • UK FTSE +0.6%
  • Spain IBEX +0.9%

This follows a dreadful session yesterday, which missed out on a late bounce in value stocks in the US - which saw the Dow close marginally higher. US futures are also keeping steadier in general today, so that is helping with the risk mood somewhat.

S&P 500 futures are up 0.2%, Nasdaq futures up 0.1%, Dow futures up 0.2%.
