THIRD CONSECUTIVE DAY IN THE RED FOR EUROPEAN BOURSES (0635
GMT)

Futures are pointing to a third consecutive day of losses
for European bourses as coronavirus cases are growing at full
speed in the U.S. and Europe.

Uncertainty around the U.S. presidential election, in less
than a week, is also keeping investors on their toes.

In the meantime, oil price rises 2% after companies shut
down some U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil production ahead of storm
Zeta.

Financial spreadbetters at IG expect London's FTSE to open
27 points lower at 5,702, Frankfurt's DAX to open 154 points
lower at 11,909 and Paris' CAC to open 63 points lower at 4,668.
