Slight retracement in early trades after solid gains throughout the week

  • German DAX futures -0.7%
  • UK FTSE futures -0.4%
  • Spanish IBEX futures -0.7%

This mirrors the softer tone from US futures to start the day with S&P 500 futures down 0.6% and Nasdaq futures down 1.0% currently.

The market has benefited off receding worries surrounding the election in recent days, but we'll see if there are deeper concerns starting to brew ahead of the weekend later on.
