European stocks closed on the lows yesterday but the turnaround in US stocks a day go prompted a catch-up trade:

  • UK FTSE 100 +1.3%
  • Stoxx 600 +1.8%
  • German DAX +1.7%
  • French CAC +2.1%
  • Italy MIB +1.3%
  • Spain IBEX flat

This is a nice bounce but it's far too close to a breakdown for comfort.
