Stocks Solid for Second Session

EQUITIES

Global equity markets have built on the Monday bounce, extending gains across the continent to 0.6-1.7%, with French & Spanish stocks outperforming while the UK's FTSE-100 is the laggard.

Across Europe, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors are solid, although all sectors tracked are in the green. Utilities and communication services lag slightly, exhibiting today's underlying risk-on tone.

US equity futures are similarly higher, with the e-mini S&P around 30 points in the green. This narrows the gap with all-time highs to around 60 points, with earnings today the next focus. Key reports due today include Alphabet, Amazon, Pfizer and ExxonMobil.
