FYI: Global stocks were mostly up Thursday as investors awaited the next moves in the Brexit process, though sluggish Chinese economic data weighed on sentiment.
The Stoxx Europe 600 edged up 0.4% in early morning trade. In Asia, Chinese stocks registered steep falls.
On Wall Street, futures pointed to flat openings for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
In currencies, the WSJ Dollar Index, which tracks the dollar against a basket of 16 currencies, was up 0.1%. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose slightly to 2.637% from 2.612% on Wednesday. Yields move inversely to prices.
In Asia, the weak Chinese numbers sent the Shanghai Composite down 1.2%. Stocks in Hong Kong and Japan were mostly flat.
In commodities, Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, was up 0.6% while gold prices fell 0.5%.

He has deliberately done this with the spurious "CNBC Bond Market Update" comment so as to force it to your attention. He is well aware that this is in violation of MFO standard practice, but he believes himself to be exempt from such things, because he is the almighty TED.
