European stocks slip as US markets prepare to reopen lower- FTSE 100 near session lows
The European stock markets are all still in the red today and the worst performing index remains as it was earlier and that is the FTSE 100. That said the DAX is not too far behind it in percentage terms. The FTSE 100 is re-approaching session lows underneath 8,240 and the DAX is dropping back towards 18,800 again. The outlook for the US opening is less ebullient now too and the Dow Jones future is currently the only one of the three main indexes still priced to open higher, but we are not talking much in terms of points gains. In fact, it has actually turned red too and so the US opening outlook is now turning somewhat more negative just now. The driver for this appears to be an escalation of events unfolding in the Middle East just now
