Slightly more positive tones to start the session

  • Eurostoxx +0.1%
  • Germany DAX +0.1%
  • France CAC 40 +0.3%
  • UK FTSE +0.5%
  • Spain IBEX +0.4%

This keeps with the more optimistic tone in US futures as well, with S&P 500 futures up 0.5% as we get things underway. Despite a higher pound, UK stocks are still performing well on reopening hopes following yesterday's announcement.
