• German DAX futures +0.4%
  • UK FTSE futures +0.1%

In part, it is to do with a catch up to the solid gains in Wall Street yesterday. But on the balance of things, risk sentiment is also in a decent spot today. S&P 500 futures are up 9 points, or 0.2%, as we look to get things goin in European trading. All eyes will be on the ECB though, so that will be the key risk event to be mindful about in the session ahead.
