European equities slightly lower to start the day

• Eurostoxx -0.2%
• Germany DAX -0.2%
• France CAC 40 -0.2%
• UK FTSE -0.3%
• Spain IBEX -0.3%

Meanwhile, US futures are flattish at the moment as we settle into European morning trade. Bond yields are still holding slightly higher on the day and that might weigh on the broader market sentiment later on. The second day of Powell’s testimony is also on the cards but expect to hear more of the same remarks from yesterday, if anything else.
