European futures fall after more headlines hit the screens-check out the FTSE 100

Since the last update here we have had further news emerging around the conflict in Ukraine and that has sent the European stock market futures lower again. So, the DAX futures are now lower and so far the FTSE 100 and and CAC 40. All the US equity futures have now fallen into the red, going those on the Nasdaq 100, which were lower anyway. Earlier the FTSE 100 was flirting with a potential reopening above its 200 day moving average, but not right now. To update you on that, the 200 day moving average is still rising each day and was in place as of the close last night, at 8,119. The FTSE 100 did not close near that though and actually closed below the 8,100 handle this time, ending the session at 8,085.07. It is still priced to open higher this morning, but the risks of drop below the low point seen yesterday (8,074) is certainly on the radar too
