Spreadex Market Update

US stock index futures continue to slip ahead of the open



US stock index futures continue to slip ahead of the open, as risk appetite recedes from pushing stocks to all-time highs. European indices are similarly weak today, suffering falls from multi-year highs. The FTSE 100 and Dax are down by less than 0.5 percent respectively, however, finding some support as those looking to get in a little lower provide liquidity. Helping underpin prices further is that analysts still reckon earnings for S&P 500 companies are set to grow over 7 percent this year.

Elsewhere, on the London equity market, traders have in focus today home builders and real estate stocks. Telford homes and Foxtons are down 2.1 percent and 4.9% percent respectively on profit-taking after a strong recent run higher. Foxtons today announced its CEO is to step down, a move that has so far spooked investors ahead of the July update.
