It's difficult not to start with U.S. AI star Nvidia NVDA.O, which reports results after U.S. market close today.
Traders in the U.S. equity options market expect the earnings report to spark a more than $300 billion swing in its shares, which will shape moves in global markets just by its sheer size, as well as what the report tells us about the state of play in the world's hottest sector.
Barring something very dramatic, that'll be the news of the day, but, before then, it's looking like another small set of gains at the open for European shares.
STOXX 50 futures are up around 0.1%, with French and British blue chips set to outperform and futures on their indexes are up around 0.2%. STXEc1, FFIc1, FCEc1
There is also some corporate news to digest, some of which has a Scandinavian flavour.
Non-scandi Prudential PRU.L on Wednesday reported a 9% rise in first-half operating profit, backed by strong policy sales in Singapore, but a slowdown in business in China and Indonesia weighed on overall growth. Its Hong Kong shares 2378.HK are down a touch over 2%.
Embattled Swedish real estate group SBB SBBb.ST reported on Wednesday a smaller pretax loss for the second-quarter compared to a year ago as it battles to cut debt and restructure its business.
And Scandinavian airline SAS has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in the United States with a stronger balance sheet and new owners after a court process lasting more than two years, the company said on Wednesday.
Its owners now include Air France-KLM AIRF.PA
