EQUITIES: Stock markets in Europe remain in the red ahead of the Tuesday cash

open, with US futures also lower and indicating a negative open in just under 30

minutes. E-mini S&P was under pressure for much of the Tuesday morning, eating

through some of the late Monday gains - but has since recovered to trade just

above 3,040.

- On the continent, energy, healthcare and financials are leading declines, with

just real estate, utilities and tech firms in the green at the halfway point.

- Focus turns to MNI Chicago Business Barometer, US consumer confidence data for

June and an appearance by Fed's Powell and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin in front

of the House Financial Services Committee later today.

- 200-dma at 3019.44 provides first support for e-mini S&P today, and a break

through there opens yesterday's weekly low at 2983.50. Friday's highs at 3082

are the initial upside target.
