European equities mostly a touch softer at the open today

• Eurostoxx flat
• Germany DAX +0.3%
• France CAC 40 -0.2%
• UK FTSE -0.3%
• Spain IBEX -0.2%
• Italy FTSE MIB -0.2%

SAP announced a better outlook at its earnings report after the close yesterday and that’s helping to lift the DAX a little. Besides that, the overall mood is a little on the softer side with US futures also keeping lower. S&P 500 futures are down 0.2% as we look to start the session. As bond yields push higher, that’s also a key consideration for equities sentiment.
