PROFIT WARNINGS AND TAKE PRIVATES
For the first time in a few days, there is no major political news for European stocks to digest. The big picture story is back to being about the U.S. macro economic picture, but today's open really will be about single stocks.
STOXX 50 futures are down around 0.3% STXEc1, with DAX futures down a similar amount FDXc1. FTSE 100 and CAC40 futures are around flat. FFIc1, FCEc1
The macro event is Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's semi-annual two-day appearance before Congress, ahead of always-crucial U.S. inflation data on Thursday.
Under the surface, there is plenty for investors to react to.
Starting with energy, BP BP.L said on Tuesday it expects lower realised refining margins to hurt its second-quarter earnings by $500-700 million. Traders' pre-market indications are calling the stock down as much as 2%.
On the other side of the coin, Italian and Spanish energy groups Eni ENI.MI and Repsol REP.NC have made a significant oil and gas discovery in the Sureste Basin, about 63 kilometres off the coast of Mexico, Eni said on Monday
Elsewhere, there is news at beleagured Grifols GRLS.MC where the Grifols family and Canadian fund Brookfield BN.TO have agreed to evaluate a possible joint takeover bid for the drugmaker with the intent to delist it, the companies said in regulatory filings on Monday.
In Britian, recruiter Page Group and drugmaker Indivior INDV.L both warned of lower profits - traders expect double-digit percentage falls at the open - and embattled Thames Water, Britain's biggest water supplier, said it had funding of 1.8 billion pounds ($2.31 billion), enough to keep it going until May 2025, as its efforts to raise new equity to ensure its survival continued.
