Eurostoxx futures +0.6% in early European trading

  
Analysis, Global Indices, US Market
  • German DAX futures +0.6%
  • UK FTSE futures +0.4%
  • Spanish IBEX futures +0.4%

That carries over the positive tone from yesterday, though it hardly chips into the fall from last week. For now, equities are keeping the calm but I reckon we might get more volatility once Wall Street enters the fray later today.

Elsewhere, US futures are keeping more positive with S&P 500 futures up 1.5%*, Nasdaq futures up 1.5%*, and Dow futures up 1.3%*.

  • It had 17.5 million barrels a day of capacity at the end of 2020, and will reach 20 million by 2025
  • China’s big state-owned refiners, which make up around three-quarters of the industry, were running at around 71 per cent of capacity on June 10
