(Sharecast News) - The market spotlight on Thursday will be on foreign trade and the possibility of fresh tensions.
Two days before, top US officials had said that the White House would be sending out more letters to some trading partners informing them of the tariffs they would face come 1 August - if they did not strike a trade deal with Washington before.
Also with potential implications for market sentiment, at 1700 BST the US Treasury is scheduled to auction 30-year debt.
Furthermore, at least three top Fed officials are due to deliver speeches over the course of the afternoon.
No major economic reports are due out in the UK.
In the euro area, at 0600 BST investors will be watching out for a reading on German CPI, followed by Italian industrial production data at 0800 BST.
In the company space, Dr. Martens will report its first quarter results.

The stronger pound might drag on revenues and profits but full-year guidance for profit before tax was kept at 54-74m, management said at the time.
