European stock futures opened flat on Thursday, reflecting a cautious sentiment in the market. German DAX futures remained unchanged, while French CAC 40 and UK FTSE futures saw a slight uptick of 0.1%.
This subdued performance aligns with US futures, which are also holding steady ahead of the European market open. In Asia, Chinese indices experienced a decline of 2%, continuing the week’s volatile trading pattern.
The overall mood signals a moderation of the optimism observed earlier in the week, particularly following Wall Street’s record highs on Wednesday.
