On Thursday, the European Central Bank delivered its widely anticipated quarter-point rate increase, while President Christine Lagarde highlighted upside risks to inflation and downside risks to economic growth. Investors will now turn to UK GDP figures and German current account data for July for further clues on the region’s economic health. No major earnings reports are scheduled. In premarket trading, Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 futures were both up around 0.2%.
