WEAK START FOR STOXX, TECH CAPS FURTHER LOSSES
Europe's STOXX 600 .STOXX is down a tiny 0.02%, as traders maintain a cautious attitude with an eye on the looming U.S. election in two week's time, even as earnings surprise to the upside.
On a sector basis, tech is limiting any bigger losses, with the basket .SX8P rising 1.8%, German software company SAP SAPG.DE being the biggest positive factor and one of the top risers overall in Europe, up 5.5% after upping its full-year targets.
Swedish defence material maker Saab SAABb.ST is up 6.4% after Q3 results.
HSBC Holdings HSBA.L, 0005.HK shares are trading flat, but remain in focus after the bank said it would combine some of its commercial and investment banking operations in a major overhaul.
Norway's DNB DNB.OL is also up 4.7% after topping its third quarter profit forecast.
At the bottom of the index is Eurofins Scientific EUFI.PA, off 8% after Q3 results.
In the UK, construction firm Morgan Sindall's shares are up 10.5% MGNS.L after an upbeat full-year outlook.
On the flipside, British energy services firm Hunting HTG.L is down 17.7% to the lowest level since March after issuing a profit warning.
Utilities meanwhile .SX6P are the worst performing sector, down 0.9% as the likes of EDP Renovaveis EDPR.LS drop 2.3%.
