EUROPEAN BEFORE THE BELL: UNCERTAINTY OFFSETS POSITIVE EARNINGS
The current backdrop of heightened geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty seems to be offsetting the potential boost to European stocks from a stream of positive cross-sector earnings today.
EuroSTOXX50 STXEc1 futures are flat, as FTSE futures FFIc1 and DAX futures FDXc1 pull in opposite directions, with the former down 0.43%, and the latter rising 0.3%.
A U.S. election is just two weeks away. Traders are also mulling the Fed's future rate trajectory. On Monday, four Fed policymakers expressed support for further interest-rate cuts, but seemed to differ on what they think the pace should be.
Politics is at the forefront in Britain as well, as next week's budget nears. Data released Tuesday showed public borrowing in the first six months of the tax year came in higher than official forecasts.
In earnings, Norway's largest bank DNB DNB.OL reported bigger-than-expected third-quarter earnings and Swiss-American technology company Logitech International LOGN.S has raised its full-year outlook.
Shares in SAP SAPG.DE were up 4.4% on the Lang & Schwarz platform after the German software company raised full-year targets on strong cloud business in the third quarter.
More upbeat news came from Danish shipping group A.P. Moller-Maersk MAERSKb.CO which has raised its full-year forecasts, and Swedish defence material maker Saab SAABb.ST which has reported a slightly bigger-than-expected rise in third-quarter operating earnings
Oslo-listed Vaar Energi VAR.OL, majority-owned by Italy's Eni ENI.MI, reported a stronger than expected third-quarter operating profit.
