(BLOOMBERG) Milan – European (SXXP) stocks were little changed after Italy missed its fundraising target at a bond sale, while its borrowing costs eased. U.S. index futures rose, while Asian shares fell.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index (SXXP) gained less than 0.1 percent to 240.33 at 11:56 a.m. in London. The gauge has rallied 12 percent (SXXP) from this year’s low on Sept. 22 amid better-than-estimated U.S. economic data and optimism that policy makers are moving to stem the debt crisis.
