MORNING CALL: EUROPEAN STOCKS TO RECOVER ON EARNINGS BOOST (0527 GMT)

Good morning and welcome to Live Markets. The main European benchmarks are called to open

higher today after a pretty hefty fall yesterday, as anxiety over bond yields dissipates

somewhat to be replaced by a focus on earnings.

Wall Street's robust earnings helped quell concerns over the U.S 10-year yield breaching 3

percent overnight, boosting the Dow and S&P 500 as well as Asian stocks, which bounced back from

three-week lows plumbed in the previous session.

Spreadbetters call the DAX 60 points higher at 12,482, the CAC 40 up 23 points at 5,436, and

the FTSE 100 9 points higher at 7,389.
