• German DAX futures -0.7%
  • UK FTSE futures -0.7%
  • Spanish IBEX futures -0.7%

This owes much to Europe having to play catch up to the drop in Wall Street yesterday. US futures are looking calmer so far, with S&P 500 futures up 0.1% currently. That is keeping a calmer mood among major currencies for the most part as the session gets underway.
