EUROPE SLIGHTLY IN THE RED (0528 GMT)
European stock futures are in negative territory amid weak
signals from equities outside the Continent and worries about a
slow vaccination campaign's economic impact.
Wall Street indexes closed mixed despite upbeat results from
big banks, with the tech sector the biggest underperformer after
Coinbase was sold off on its debut.
China stocks lost ground on concerns about possible further
policy tightening.
Meanwhile, today's release of U.S. weekly jobless claims and
retail sales data might put U.S. Treasury yields to the test.
