Friday, 09/09/2022 | 07:16 GMT-0

Eurostoxx +0.6%
Germany DAX +0.6%
France CAC 40 +0.6%
UK FTSE +1.0%
Spain IBEX +0.8%

That's a good start as European stocks are looking to salvage something before the weekend comes along. The positive mood is also seen in US futures with S&P 500 futures now up 0.7% on the day. Nasdaq futures are up 0.9% and Dow futures up 0.6% as well. This comes with the dollar nudging to the lows for the day as we get things going in Europe.
