Dow Jones News
U.S. stock futures wavered, extending the week's pattern of
muted moves ahead of data on the trade deficit and job
openings.
S&P 500 futures traded mostly flat and futures on the Dow
Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.1%. The contracts don't
necessarily predict moves after the opening bell.
In Europe, the Stoxx Europe 600 added 0.1% in morning trade, and
it is at its highest level in a year as gains in communication
services and financials sectors were offset by losses in materials
and consumer discretionary sectors.
Intermediate Capital Group climbed 4.4% and Greggs jumped
2.3%.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 rose 0.1%. Other stock indexes in Europe
were mixed as France's CAC 40 gained 0.1% and the U.K.'s FTSE 250
added 0.1%, whereas Germany's DAX was broadly flat.
The Swiss franc, the euro and the British pound lost 0.1%, 0.2%
and 0.3% respectively against the U.S. dollar.
In commodities, Brent crude fell 0.8% to $70.94 a barrel. Gold
strengthened 0.1% to $1,899.80 a troy ounce.
German 10-year bund yields were down to minus 0.203% and U.K.
10-year gilts yields slipped to 0.803%. The yield on 10-year U.S.
Treasury fell to 1.556% from 1.570%. Bond prices and yields move in
opposite directions.
In Asia, indexes mostly fell as Hong Kong's Hang Seng declined
0.3% after trading higher 0.7% during the session, Japan's Nikkei
225 index was lower 0.2%, and China's benchmark Shanghai Composite
shed 0.5% after gaining 0.6% earlier.
