ROTATION TIME
Futures point to a sluggish open for large European names on Friday, but eyes will be on small caps after they outperformed larger peers the day before as some investors reshuffled their packs after cooler-than-expected U.S. inflation data.
STOXX 50 futures STXEc1 are up 0.08%, though look out for gains in Britain and France where FTSE100 FFIc1 and CAC40 futures FCEc1 are up 0.4% and 0.28%, respectively.
The big macro economic news of the week was Thursday data that showed the U.S. consumer price index dipped 0.1% last month, the first drop since May 2020, and climbed 3.0% in the 12 months through June, logging its smallest gain since June 2023. Both were below expectations.
That induced an interesting reaction in stock markets. In Europe, while the STOXX 600 .STOXX finished the day 1% higher, small caps, .SCXP which rose 1.15%, outperformed large cap names - up 0.52%. .LXCP The STOXX 50 rose just 0.27%. .STOXX50
There are a few bits of earnings and company news to be on top of too.
A U.S. judge in Texas on Thursday dismissed a $750-million lawsuit that accused Volkswagen VOWG_p.DE of unfair business practices, the latest ruling in a long clash between the German vehicle maker and automotive parts supplier Prevent USA.
Also, on Friday, Swedish telecom gear maker EricssonERICb.ST reported a smaller-than-expected 7% drop in second-quarter sales, Norwegian Air NAS.OL reported second-quarter core earnings above market expectations, and Norwegian oil company Aker BP AKRBP.OL, which is partly owned by BP BP.L, reported on Friday a lower-than-expected profit for the second quarter.
Lastly, English pubs, supermarkets and restaurants are set for a weekend bonanza as fans prepare to tune in to watch England play Spain in the final of the Euro 2024 soccer championship in Germany and before that, the Wimbledon tennis men's singles final in London.
