Little change observed in early trades

  • German DAX futures +0.1%
  • UK FTSE futures flat
  • Spanish IBEX futures +0.1%

This mirrors the tone in US futures, with S&P 500 futures flat, Nasdaq futures down 0.1% and Dow futures up 0.1% as we get things underway.

A broadly weaker dollar is still playing out in the major currencies space but so far the move is still rather contained since early Asia Pacific trading.
