EUROPEAN FUTURES HIGHER AS BUSY WEEK GETS UNDERWAY
European stock index futures are cautiously higher on Monday, in what is set to be a busy week, with four of the 'Magnificent 7' due to report earnings and policy announcements from the U.S., Japan and the UK.
Euro STOXX 50 futures STXEc1 are up 0.5%, after the STOXX 600 .STOXX gained 0.7% last week.
Futures on the DAX FDCc1, CAC 40 FCEc1 and FTSE 100 FFIc1 are all up around 0.4%.
It's a busy week for corporate earnings, with 80 companies in the pan-European benchmark set to report numbers, according to LSEG.
Focus this morning is on Dutch beverage maker Heineken HEIN.AS, which lifted its full-year guidance, but also announced an 874-million euro writedown of its investment in China Resources Beer.
Philips PHG.AS, meanwhile, recorded second-quarter results that beat forecasts, boosted by the implementation of its restructuring programme.
But European earnings will likely take a backseat later in the week and U.S. companies take centre-stage, with Apple AAPL.O, Microsoft MSFT.O, Amazon AMZN.O and Meta META.O all scheduled to report. Together, the four companies account for almost 20% of the S&P 500 and will likely be a huge driver of sentiment.
Microsoft kicks it off after hours on Tuesday.
Elsewhere, markets expect the Fed to signal it could cut rates in September, when it announces policy on Wednesday.
The BoJ, which will also announce its policy decision on Wednesday, could raise interest rates for a second time this year. Markets are split on whether the BoE will cut rates on Thursday or hold off until there's more evidence UK inflation is falling back towards target.
Inflation data from the euro zone is also scheduled this week, which rounds off with the U.S. payrolls report on Friday.
Hold onto your hats!
