Equities are holding at the highs for the day now after the opening two hours in Europe, keeping up the positive momentum since the end of last week. Major indices in Europe are faring rather well with the DAX, CAC 40, FTSE 100, and Stoxx 600 all at fresh record highs. That comes after the brief stutter in April trading. Meanwhile, S&P 500 futures are also up another 0.4% on the day now.
