Across Europe, the main stock markets opened higher today, driven by a fall in sovereign bond yields and oil prices, whilst investors awaited eurozone inflation figures and US employment data.

After yields on ten-year US Treasury bonds soared on Thursday, pushing up yields on European sovereign debt, today's session began with a slight easing.

Highlights on today's macroeconomic agenda include the preliminary September reading for eurozone inflation, which is estimated to have risen to record highs, in line with trends in the major European economies of Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
The sharp rise in energy prices is pushing inflation to its highest levels since the start of 2023.
