The more cautious tones continue to prevail in the equities space

  • Eurostoxx -0.4%
  • Germany DAX -0.4%
  • France CAC 40 -0.3%
  • UK FTSE -0.5%
  • Italy MIB -0.3%

This keeps in tune with the mood that we are seeing with US futures, which are down by ~0.3% as we get the session going.

Markets are still keeping a more cautious and tepid approach amid US-China trade tensions, with little fresh developments in the latter half of the week besides Trump signing off on the HK bill and prompting some fighting words out of Beijing.
