Wall Street and US futures might be looking a bit more cautious but major indices in Europe are not feeling much anxiety in another solid open today. With European indices not being as tech heavy in general, AI valuation concerns are not something that is bugging investors all too much. The Nikkei paved the way in Asia and we’re now seeing Europe continue to pick that up to start the day.
Here’s a look at how regional indices are faring to kick things off:
- Eurostoxx +0.2%
- Germany DAX +0.1%
- France CAC 40 +0.5%
- UK FTSE +0.3%
- Spain IBEX +0.6%
- Italy FTSE MIB +0.2%
The opening gains sees fresh record highs posted for major benchmark indices in France, Spain, and the UK. Solid stuff.
Looking over to US futures, things are more tepid with S&P 500 futures down 0.2%, Nasdaq futures down 0.2%, and Dow futures also down by 0.2% on the day.
The news involving China’s customs ban on Nvidia chips earlier here won’t help with the unsettling mood. That as the poster boy for the AI rally continues to run into a bit of trouble alongside the already lofty expectations to their outlook.
Coming up later today, we’ll see more big bank earnings on the calendar in the US with BofA, Wells Fargo, and Citi all set to report.
