European equities open higher to start the new week, month

• Eurostoxx +0.2% (+3.8% in February)
• Germany DAX +0.7% (+3.8%)
• France CAC 40 +0.2% (+2.0%)
• UK FTSE +0.3% (+1.6%)
• Spain IBEX +0.1% (+7.9%)
• Italy FTSE MIB +0.5% (+6.0%)

After the blistering gains in February, major indices in Europe will be hoping to carry on the good form into March. So far today, there is some element of catch up to the late gains in Wall Street at the end of last week. The turnaround in US stocks came after the European close but there is also a slightly better mood today. S&P 500 futures are seen up 0.2%. All that being said, it’s still early in the day/week with Trump’s tariffs plan still yet to be decided upon.
