Index Focus – 3 Nov - 3 November 2014

European bourses are higher again this morning, following Friday’s positive US and European closes, which saw the US register another all-time high. This was helped by US Q3 GDP beating expectations and solid US earnings reports, particularly from Visa which contributed heavily. Positive sentiment looks to be back in a big week for macro data that includes Interest Rate decisions from both the BoE and ECB, with the biggest being saved till last in the form of Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday.
