CAUTIOUSLY HIGHER
European stock futures are trading a little higher ahead of the open as the weekend passed without any major market-shocking headlines in France, meaning investors can reverse some of their small risk-off turn at the end of last week.
STOXX 50 futures are 0.16% higher, with futures for the French and German benchmarks up a similar amount. STXEc1, FCEc1, FDXc1 Britain's FTSE futures are down 0.13% with weak metal prices likely to weigh on the commodity-heavy index. FFIc1 MET/L
In keeping with that mood, the spread between German and French 10 year yields is around one basis point narrower at 73 bps, certainly not a big change compared to Friday's close, but heading in the right direction for long only stock pickers. DE10FR10=RR
Also helping, perhaps, a new French government led by Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN) would end the decades-long practice of running high budget deficits and stick to the European Union's fiscal rules, the party's financial pointman told Reuters.
Also drawing eyes, China and the European Union have agreed to start talks on the planned imposition of tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) being imported into the European market, senior officials of both sides said on Saturday.
In company news, insurance group Prudential PRU.L is planning a $2 billion share buyback programme which will be completed no later than mid-2026, the company said in a statement on Sunday. Its Hong Kong shares at up 6% at the time of writing 2378.HK while the Hang Seng index is down 0.7%, so look out for a pop in London.
Also in Britain, building materials supplier SIG Plc SHI.L expects underlying profit for the year to be below market forecast hurt by subdued demand from ongoing softness in the building and construction sector, the company said on Monday.
