EUROPE BEFORE THE BELL: FUTURES CAUTIOUSLY HIGHER
European equity futures are edging higher on Friday but gains are capped as markets await news from China on possible fiscal stimulus measures.
The Fed, late yesterday, delivered little surprises in cutting rates by 25 bps and flagging a patient approach to further easing.
Euro STOXX 50 futures STXEc1 are up 0.1% but the index still looks set to end the week lower for the fourth straight week, even as Wall Street trades at record peaks after Trump's election victory.
Futures on France's CAC FCEc1 and Britain's FTSE .FFIc1 are both also up 0.1%.
DAX futures .FDXc1 are up 0.2%, as the index looks set to add to Thursday's sharp gains following the collapse of the government.
Some are betting that a new government, likely after possible elections in March, could suspend the debt brake, allowing more fiscal spending to reboot the ailing economy.
In corporate news, Richemont CFR.S was the latest luxury name to report tough conditions in China as it posted a 1% dip in sales in the three months to the end of September.
British Airways owner IAG ICAG.L said quarterly profit jumped 15%, beating forecasts, helped by higher ticket prices and lower fuel prices.
