European Markets Are Down After A Gigantic Day In Japan
After a nice early start, markets in Europe have erased gains, and now they're tumbling.
Germany's Dax is down 0.3%.
Spain's IBEX is down 0.7%.
France's CAC 40 is down 0.6%.
ORIGINAL (4:13 AM ET):
Stock markets are staging a nice rally early in the European trading session, following a 99 point rally in the Dow Jones Industrials and a 3.7 percent surge in Japan's Nikkei.
England's FTSE 100 is up 0.5%.
Germany's Dax is up 0.2%.
Spain's IBEX is up 0.4%.
France's CAC 40 is up 0.2%.
It's a particularly quiet day today with no major U.S. economic news being announced. Later this morning we'll get a German bond auction.
Tomorrow should be more interesting with an ECB meeting, initial jobless claims in the U.S., and the grilling of incoming Bank of England governor Mark Carney.
