US TECH SET TO GIVE EUROPE BOOST
Strong earnings after-market on Thursday from tech stalwarts Google and Microsoft are set to lighten the mood in Europe on Friday, with futures signalling a higher open.
Euro STOXX 50 futures STXEc1 are up almost 1%, while futures on the DAX FDXc1, FTSE 100 FFIc1 and CAC 40 FCEc1 are all up between 0.6%-0.9%.
Wall Street futures are also surging, with Nasdaq eminis <NQcv1< notching a 1.2% gain and S&P futures EScv1 up 0.9%.
"It's been a volatile 24 hours in markets, but in spite of a selloff yesterday, there's increasing positivity this morning thanks to strong results from Microsoft and Alphabet after last night's close," Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid says in an email to clients.
Both Microsoft MSFT.O and Google-parent Alphabet GOOGL.O beat on the top and bottom line, allaying concerns about spending in the tech sector after Facebook-parent Meta's META.O results the day before.
In Europe, earnings are also in focus. Defence gear maker SAAB SAABb.ST raised its sales outlook, Airbus AIR.PA hiked its A350 output goal and Remy Cointreau RCOP.PA reporting a sales beat as "significant growth" in China helped drive performance at its cognac division.
In M&A, Anglo American AAL.L has rebuffed BHP's BHP.AX 31.1-billion pound takeover offer, saying the bid "significantly undervalued" the miner and its future prospects.
On the macro front, the Bank of Japan kept interest rates unchanged, sending the yen JPY=EBS tumbling to a new 34-year low past 156 to the dollar, keeping markets on edge for the chance of currency intervention from Japanese officials.
