• Today on the calendar: durable goods orders in the US and retail sales in Canada

Futures point to a lower opening of this week's last cash session in Europe. This comes after a relatively good session in the US, which saw the Nasdaq index up 0.76% and the S&P500 up 0.21%. The star of yesterday's session was Tesla, which closed trading 22% higher, posting the second largest daily gain in history.
