Mildly positive tones in early trades

  • German DAX futures +0.2%
  • French CAC 40 futures +0.1%
  • UK FTSE futures +0.2%

This follows a bit of a mixed session yesterday with most indices ending a little lower. US futures are keeping steady on the day as the focus continues to be on the anticipation ahead of the US-China Phase One trade deal signing tomorrow.

The more steady tones are keeping USD/JPY slightly above 110.00 for now with gold keeping a little weaker to start the European morning.
