What's the impact? Saga says its tour operations business is still being hit by political uncertainties, housebuilder Berkeley Group has reported a 21% drop in pretax profit and Whitbread's like-for-like revenue per available room in the UK fell 6% in Q1. Traders are calling Saga and Whitbread shares 2-3% lower, while Berkeley shares are called 2-5% higher as their results comfortably beat estimates. The Berkeley share move could be a positive read-across and provide some relief for the battered British housebuilding sector. Steinhoff International's Frankfurt-listed shares are seen falling as much as 10% after the South African retailer reported a 1.2 billion euro ($1.34 billion) loss for 2018, in a much-delayed earnings report, revealing the impact of an accounting fraud put at $7.27 billion. Dutch fintech firm Adyen seen 2% down after some pre-IPO investors placed shares at 670 euros -- a 3% discount to yesterday's closing price.

Meanwhile, for anyone still recovering from the Draghi shock, you're not alone: ECB policymakers were divided on Tuesday, with some feeling powerless, after Draghi hinted at new stimulus measures that had yet to be discussed by the ECB's Governing Council. Corporate news looks very light this morning but it would be interesting to watch if the trade-sensitive stocks continue to rally pinning hopes on a trade deal when Trump and China's Xi meet in G20. The Philadelphia Semiconductor index rose 4.4% overnight on hopes of a trade deal. A report that Deutsche Bank chief Christian Sewing is planning a major overhaul of top management, including replacing the finance chief, is making big headlines.
