Europe not set for such a positive start today- check out the CAC 40 futures

Yesterday the major European stock markets all posted higher closes. The DAX was the leader in percentage terms and next came the FTSE 100. The CAC 40 was the clear laggard and in fact, it barely closed higher at all. The positive opening (7,329) for the index and push to a high at 7,333 soon after did not last for very long at all and as covered here at the time, the CAC fell back below below where it had closed on Friday, at 7,255. The index did just manage to squeeze out a higher close, when ending the day at 7,257. However, the comments from Trump later last night have sent the CAC 40 futures lower and right now the index is set to open lower. Earlier this morning that opening was indicated as low at 7,170. It is not so negative just now, but the signs are not positive. The index needs to hold onto 7,130 when live trading resumes, or it could threaten that 7k level again. The last time that came under threat was back in August. The CAC 40 is currently priced to reopen around 7,205
