FUTURES POINT TO TURNAROUND TUESDAY
After a three-day rout across global markets that sank the STOXX 600 .STOXX to over 6-month lows, tension looked set to ease on Tuesday, with European equity futures all pointing to a recovery in early trade.
Around 30 minutes before the bell, EuroSTOXX50 STXEc1 and FTSE FFIc1 contracts gained 1-1.3% following a 9% rebound in Tokyo and an sharp retracement of volatility .VIX on Wall Street overnight from over 66 to below 39 points at the close.
Europe's three largest listed companies - Novo NOVOb.CO, ASML ASML.AS and LVMH LVMH.PA - also appeared eager to join the rebound mood. Their shares rose in early Frankfurt trade.
However, it remains to be seen whether the bounce will last and whether traders seize the chance to sell the rally, as concerns over the U.S. economy linger and carry trades unwind. U.S. futures ESc1 meanwhile also rose sharply, by over 1.5%.
As markets seek a tentative stabilisation, corporate news might again drive single-stock moves. On the radar were earning updates from online marketplace Zalando ZALG.DE, staffing firm Adecco ADEN.S and farming supplies maker Bayer BAYGn.DE.
