EUROPEAN BOURSES SET FOR MODEST (TENTATIVE?) REBOUND (0708 GMT)

European bourses are seen opening higher, after a 12.2% drop last week, the worst weekly drop since the global financial crisis, and mirroring Asian shares, which steadied from early losses as investors hope for a coordinated global monetary policy intervention to help with the impact of the coronavirus epidemic on the economy.

The scale of losses are prompting financial markets to price in policy responses from the Fed, the Bank of Japan and the Reserve Bank of Australia.

The epidemic, which has killed around 3,000 people worldwide, is heavily hitting production with activity in China shrinking at a record pace in February. In Europe, Nike closed its regional headquarters in the Netherlands today for two days after an employee was infected with the coronavirus.

Meantime, Britain and the European Union will kick off tense trade talks.

Futures for the STOXX 50, the DAX, the CAC 40 and the FTSE are up 2.1%, 2.2%, 1.6% and 2.4% respectively.
