Markets Are Sliding Around The World

After staging a nice rally on Thursday, markets seem to be ending the week on a lower note.

England's FTSE 100 is down 0.4%.

France's CAC 40 is down 0.8%.

Germany's DAX is down 0.6%.

Spain's IBEX is down 0.9%.

Italy's FTSE MIB is down 0.8%.

This follows a mixed day in Asia where Japan's Nikkei fell 0.3% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng climbed 0.6%.

The marquee event of the day will come from the U.S. where we will get the first reading of Q1 GDP.
