Market reaction
Markets are seeing a minor recovery in the risk sentiment, following the bloodbath fuelled by the Credit Suisse crisis on Wednesday. The rescue plan announced by Credit Suisse could offer additional comfort to the traders but risks continue to loom ahead of the European Central Bank (ECB) policy decision.
The S&P 500 futures are up 0.46% on the day while the EUR/USD pair clings to recovery gains at around 1.0600 so far.
