European equities hold lower at the open to start the session

• Eurostoxx -0.6%
• Germany DAX -0.5%
• France CAC 40 -0.8%
• UK FTSE -0.5%
• Spain IBEX -0.5%
• Italy FTSE MIB -0.7%

Some mixture of earnings releases are also in play but the overall mood in Europe is a more negative one, keeping with the selling from yesterday. The DAX is now under threat to erase its monthly advance as such. Looking at broader sentiment, it is a mixed one as well with US futures sitting a little higher.
