European equities marked lower at the open today | Forexlive

• Eurostoxx -0.3%
• Germany DAX -0.4%
• France CAC 40 -0.2%
• UK FTSE -0.2%
• Spain IBEX -0.2%

The opening losses today isn’t too bad and is in part a catch up to the losses seen on Friday in US equities after the European close. The intensifying mood in Russia and Ukraine is also perhaps a consideration for regional equities. But the overall market mood is actually somewhat calmer today as US futures are keeping higher for now. S&P 500 futures are up 0.4%, Nasdaq futures up 0.5%, and Dow futures up 0.3% on the day.
