European index futures are trading little change compared to Friday's cash closing levels. Attention this morning is on gold and its surge at the launch of overnight trading. GOLD spiked to a daily intraday high near $2,140 per ounce before erasing all of those gains. Oil is trading 1% lower, deepening last week's declines to over 8%. USD and JPY are the best performing G10 currencies, while NZD and AUD lag the most.
Economic calendar for today is light. Traders will be offered minutes for the last Riksbank meeting, Sentix index from euro area as well as durable and factory goods orders from the United States.
