European indices missed out on the surging rally on Wednesday and so had to play some catching up yesterday. But then, there was a more negative market mood weighing as well on Thursday itself. And now coming into today, there is a slight reprieve again so all of that is playing into the balance for stocks in the region. S&P 500 futures are seen up 0.6%, continuing to swing around a bit as the session gets underway. In the bigger picture, there's still no major progress on the US-China trade front for now at least.
