European equities are flat into half-time with corporate earnings and M&A buoying sentiment rather than macro data, as we await the next batch of US Q2 results. Investors are cautious ahead of the ECB tomorrow, given that odds of a US/UK rate hike have now receded in the face of recently soft data and inflation.
The UK 100 is in a tug of war with RB (sold Foods business) and a mix of VOD (push for doubling of call termination charges in India?), CRH (Irish broker upgrade), ABF (technical breakout) and GSK (selling Horlicks?) just about winning out over BP & Shell (lower oil price; GBP off lows), IAG (Cathay Pacific results) and RBS (UK inflation cut chance of BoE rate hike). The DAX sees tech (SAP, Infineon) fighting off weakness for Commerzbank and Industrials.
The UK Index 100 continues to oscillate around 7400, waiting for a break higher or lower. The DAX 30 is in the midst of a bearish flag towards 12300. Dow Jones Futures have found resistance at 21575. Gold is off its highs but found support at $1236.
