TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

It’s another particularly quiet day on the Eurozone economic calendar. There are no material stats due out of the Eurozone to provide the European majors with direction.

From the ECB, the Economic Bulletin will garner some interest later this morning, though it may ultimately be a catch-up session. U.S stocks and crude oil prices were on the move, supported by trade optimism, on Thursday.

On the geopolitical front, any further updates from Beijing or Washington will also influence. From the early part of the week, news of China removing tariffs on $850m worth of U.S imports was positive.

There were also reports of China ramping up soybean imports to levels not seen in 2-years.

In the futures markets, at the time of writing, the DAX30 was up by 53.5 points, with the Dow up by 29 points.
