  • European stocks rose in yesterday's session while U.S. stock markets were on holiday for Labor Day. 
  • Eurostoxx50 rose 1.6% as investors remained unperturbed by the tech sell-off in the U.S., the resumption of Brexit negotiations, and worse-than-expected data on industrial production in Germany (1.2% month-on-month versus 4.7% consensus forecast).
  • The price of the barrel of Brent continued edging down to $42 as Saudi Arabia cut prices. Meanwhile, the pound continued its fall, depreciating around 0.7% against the euro as prospects for a timely Brexit deal worsened following media reports that the UK government was planning to override parts of the Withdrawal Agreement. 
  • Today, investors will look forward to Eurostat´s release of its second estimate of euro area GDP growth in Q2 as well as retail sales in Italy.
