Mixed tones in the equities space to start the day

  • German DAX futures -0.2%
  • UK FTSE futures -0.2%
  • Spanish IBEX futures -0.3%

After the modest gains yesterday, European futures are pointing to a lower open despite a more settled and calm mood in US futures for the time being.

S&P 500 futures are up 0.1% though the tepid mood above seems to be carrying over from Asia with the Nikkei closing down 0.1% while the Hang Seng is down 0.3%. The Shanghai Composite is up 0.4% though going into the closing stages.
