FUTURES SIGNAL RISES AS ECB COUNTDOWN BEGINS
European stock futures are in positive territory as traders log in to a long-awaited day in the global interest rate cycle. The ECB is widely expected to deliver its first rate cut since it began hiking them in 2022.
EuroSTOXX50 STXEc1 futures are adding 0.4%, while FTSE futures FFIc1 are up 0.1% and DAX futures FDXc1 are up 0.2%.
Tech stocks have been the stars of this week in Europe, clocking a 3.1% gain on Wednesday. The day also saw AI chipmaker Nvidia NVDA.O rally to record high, while Amsterdam-listed ASML ASML.AS, the world's biggest semiconductor equipment maker, added over 3% after Jefferies analysts flagged some bullish CFO comments.
In earnings, Veon VON.AS, the owner of Ukraine's mobile operator Kyivstar, expects sales and core profit to accelerate in the medium term.
UK-listed oil services company Wood Group WG.L has said its board has decided to engage with Sidara on the Dubai-based engineering and consulting firm's sweetened takeover proposal.
British tonic maker Fevertree Drinks FEVR.L has reiterated its forecast for the year. The maker of Remy Martin cognac and Cointreau liquor Remy Cointreau RCOP.PA reported a steep decline in annual profit, but the drop was smaller than expected.
