• German DAX futures +0.2%
  • French CAC 40 futures +0.3%
  • UK FTSE futures +0.1%

This comes after the solid gains yesterday with US futures also sitting a little higher today after the slight advance from Wall Street overnight. S&P 500 futures are up 0.2% in keeping with the steady and more positive market mood to start October. The DAX is less than 1% from touching another fresh record high, so let's see if we can get to that before the weekend comes.
