Some mildly upbeat tones

  • German DAX futures +0.2%
  • UK FTSE futures +0.2%

The gains here are pale in comparison to that of US futures, where we are seeing S&P 500 futures up 0.9% and Nasdaq futures up 1.6%. While US investors may be more honed in on the election, Europe still has the virus jitters to contend with in the bigger picture.
