EUROPEAN FUTURES SLIP BEFORE HOTLY ANTICIPATED JOBS REPORT
European equity futures are lower on Friday before a pivotal U.S. labour market report that will likely determine whether the Fed will proceed with a 25-basis point rate cut this month or a larger 50-bp move.
Euro STOXX 50 futures STXEc1 are down around 0.3%. Futures on Germany's DAX FDXc1 and Britain's FTSE FFIc1 are both off a similar amount, while those on France's CAC 40 FCEc1 are little changed.
Eyes are now turning to payrolls, where economists polled by Reuters expect the U.S. economy to have added 160K jobs in August, above last month's 114K. The unemployment rate is seen falling to 4.2% from 4.3%.
It was July's report a month ago that triggered a huge sell-off across global equity markets and had markets betting that the Fed would be cutting rates at a faster clip.
Today's report will be followed by speaking appearances from two senior Fed policymakers, the NY Fed's John Williams and Governor Chris Waller. The two will likely attempt to guide markets on policy before the Fed enters its quiet period on Saturday.
In Europe, Raiffeisen Bank RBIV.VI could be in focus after a Russian court froze the shares in its local arm, blocking a sale of the unit.
Airbus AIR.PA could also be in focus after Europe's air safety regulator ordered inspections on engines of its A350-1000 jets after an engine fire on a Cathay Pacific flight earlier this week.
