MOVING ON UP
For all the focus on Britain and trade deals, it's actually Germany that's led the European charge in the first hour of trading, with the blue chip DAX .GDAXI up 0.66% versus a FTSE .FTSE that's flat.
Results are behind the outperformance and Siemens Energy ENR1n.DE is up 3.3%, having hit a new record high after its Q2 net profit trounced expectations.
It's not all gloom in Britain though, domestic focused midcaps are up 0.6% and at their highest since late Feb .FTMC partly a results story, partly a bit of trade deal optimism.
Not too much drama elsewhere, the STOXX 600 is up 0.3%.
