LOTS OF COMPANY NEWS TO TRACK
European shares are set for a cautiously higher open on Thursday, as while the week's major macro economic and political events are now getting close enough to deter investors from placing large bets, there is plenty of corporate news to track.
STOXX 50 futures are up 0.14%, STXEc1 with British, FFIc1 German FDXc1 and French index futures FCEc1 all slightly higher.
In political news, the first U.S. Presidential Debate will take place this evening - more on that in Morning Bid below - and then the first round of voting in France's parliamentary election comes Sunday. From a macro perspective, we've got the Fed's proffered inflation gauge Friday, and some national European inflation data. That's enough risk events to keep people on guard.
There's lots of overnight and early morning company news too, as we enter the foothills of Q2 results season.
Novo Nordisk NOVOb.CO said on Wednesday it would recognise an impairment loss of about 5.7 billion Danish crowns ($816.72 million) in the second quarter of 2024, after its CLARION-CKD phase 3 trial failed to meet its primary endpoint.
H&M HMb.ST, the world's second-biggest listed fashion retailer, reported on Thursday a smaller-than-expected rise in March-May operating profit and said June sales were expected to fall, making its full-year earnings goal harder to achieve.
Nokia NOKIA.HE said it had agreed to sell its submarine networks business ASN to the French state for 350 million euros ($374 million), but that the deal would not impact its financial outlook.
France's Saint-Gobain said on Thursday it had entered into a definitive agreement to buy construction chemicals company FOSROC for around 960 million euros ($1.02 billion).
Meanwhile in Britain, electricals retailer Currys CURY.L, which earlier this year was a takeover target, on Thursday met guidance with a 10% rise in full year profit, and outsourcing company Serco Group SRP.L raised its annual profit forecast.
