Opening calls
Good morning from London.
There’s just under an hour and a half to go until the final opening bell of the week, and regional indexes are currently looking poised to move into negative territory.
Futures tied to the German DAX, Italian FTSE MIB and French CAC 40 indexes were all last seen trading 0.2% lower. Those tied to London’s FTSE 100 were last heading marginally lower.
Regional shares ended the Thursday session higher, as investors focused on U.S.-EU trade talks, the European Central Bank’s widely anticipated interest rate hold and a flurry of corporate earnings.
