TODAY’s FACTORS AND EVENTS

European stocks have ended the day on the front foot despite renewed selling pressure on the euro and in crude oil futures, albeit with some traders expressing doubts about continued low levels of volatility.

“After yesterday’s falls, European markets have rebounded today with a firmer tone in the more cyclical areas of the market, with an air of almost indifference starting to descend on investors, as concerns about political risk fade into the background,” said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK.

“The successful navigation around the latest in political risk appears to have prompted a significant degree of complacency with respect to hedging potential downside moves, with the VIX down at levels last seen in 1993.
