<ul><li>Eurostoxx -0.6%</li><li>Germany DAX -0.4%</li><li>France CAC 40 -0.8%</li><li>UK FTSE -0.3%</li><li>Spain IBEX flat</li></ul><p>It's a softer open but nothing that is too outstanding after the strong gains last week. US futures are also looking more tepid, down roughly 0.1% at the moment. It's a relatively quiet start to the day, with major currencies also not hinting at much so far.</p>
