PRETTY CALM - FOR NOW
There's not been much drama in the first hour of trading on Thursday, it feels a bit like everyone is worn out and if they don't have to trade, then they won't.
The STOXX 600 .STOXX is pretty much flat, as are most national bourses, while no stock sector is up or down more than 0.7%.
The biggest mover is German sportswear brand Puma PUMG.DE up 13% after Bloomberg reported Chinese sportswear maker Anta Sports Products 2020.HK is among firms exploring a potential takeover of the company.
