The UK FTSE does rise on the day

The major European indices are closing the day mixed:

  • German DAX, -0.22%
  • France's CAC, -0.26%
  • UK's FTSE, +0.6%
  • Spain's IMAX, +0.24%
  • Italy's FTSE MIB, +0.12%

The benchmark 10 year yields are mostly lower despite Draghi's assertion that market pricing reflects something even worse than a trade war.
