MTU and Volkswagen released earnings reports
European markets halted declines and are trading mixed on Thursday. Investors await news on new coronavirus restrictions as well as US GDP report and ECB rate decision. Last but not least, investors should keep in mind that US presidential elections are next week and poll results can have influence on the markets.
DE30 tested support at 11,450 pts but was unable to break lower so far. Index is likely to be volatile in the afternoon when the US GDP report is released and ECB announces its decision. Return of selling pressure will put the aforementioned support in the spotlight once again. Source: xStation5
