UNDECIDED EUROPEAN STOCKS EYE NEW RECORD HIGH (0529 GMT)
The pan-European STOXX 600 is just 0.4% from another record
high but given how flat futures are trading at the moment,
there's absolutely no guarantee a new milestone will be crossed
today.
There's not that much momentum coming from the East where
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan
fell 0.21%.
There's plenty going on though in terms of earnings and
central bank action which could quickly swing sentiment either
way.
