Europe's major stock indices are all down this morning, ahead of eurozone inflation data.
Here's the scorecard.
*France's CAC 40*: -0.50%
*Germany's DAX*: -0.46%
*The UK's FTSE 100*: -0.66%
*Spain's IBEX*: -0.52
*Italy's FTSE MIB*: -0.62%
Asian markets were mixed: *Japan's Nikkei *rallied, closing up 1.23%, while *Hong Kong's Hang Seng* ended Friday down 0.07%. That's after figures showed Japanese inflation dropping below 1% for the first time in a year.
US futures are down too: ahead of the open, the *S&P 500 *is 5.25 points lower, and the *Dow *is down 36 points.
We're also waiting on inflation data for the whole of the eurozone, which is out at 10 a.m. GMT. Analysts had forecast a 0.3% reading, but it's possible that the index will drop even further, falling to a five-year low barely out of negative territory.
There's no US data out today, since it's the day after Thanksgiving.
