A slow start in the futures market for equities in early hours of trading

  • Eurostoxx futures open flat
  • Germany's DAX futures +0.1%
  • France's CAC 40 futures -0.1%
  • UK's FTSE futures -0.1%

Still early days, let's see what the opening in the cash market would be like - though the indicative signs here say things could be a little cautious since we have the US NFP report due later in the day.

Yesterday, we saw Wall Street end the day with record closes once again as the Nasdaq tops 25,000 for the first time. And in Asian trading so far today, most equity indices are higher as well.
