Equity Markets Calm After European Q1 GDP
The global stock market is relatively benign this morning, and domestic stocks look to open firmer, after Euro zone Q1 GDP rose 0.2% in the quarter, slightly faster than expected and following the prior quarter's flat reading.
Annual GDP was up 0.5%, in line with forecasts, and following a 2.2% pullback in Q4.
“Debt concerns were allayed somewhat by news of better-than-expected Q1 GDP growth in the Euro area and by Spain’s announcement to slash public sector spending and wages,” said economists from BMO in a morning note. “Even the wobbly Chinese stock market had a rare up day.”
An hour before the opening bell, Dow futures are up 44 points to 10,753 and S&P 500 futures are up 5.10 points to 1,157.30.
Light crude oil is up 0.20% to $76.52, and Spot Gold is up 2.03% to $3.77
