Continental Stocks Stabilise, But Still Signs of US Weakness

EQUITIES
  • After a volatile Monday/Tuesday session, European equity markets have stabilised ahead of the Wednesday open, with UK's FTSE-100 leading the bounce to trade higher by 0.6%. The EuroStoxx50 is the laggard, off around 0.1%.
  • Despite better performance in Europe, US markets are more fragile, with tech again a cause for concern as the NASDAQ futures points to a lower open of around 0.5% or so.
  • Across Europe, tech is the weakest sector, with financials also trading soft. Utilities and staples are the firmest so far, confirming the cautious tone despite higher headline indices.
