Opening calls<\/p>\n
Good morning from London.<\/p>\n
There’s just under an hour and a half to go until the final opening bell of the week, and regional indexes are currently looking poised to move into negative territory.<\/p>\n
Futures tied to the German DAX<\/a>, Italian FTSE MIB<\/a> and French CAC 40<\/a> indexes were all last seen trading 0.2% lower. Those tied to London’s FTSE 100<\/a> were last heading marginally lower.<\/p>\n Regional shares ended the Thursday session higher<\/a>, as investors focused on U.S.-EU trade talks, the European Central Bank’s widely anticipated interest rate hold<\/a> and a flurry of corporate earnings.<\/p>\n \u2014 Chloe Taylor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is CNBC’s live blog covering European financial markets.
