Morning Notes

US Futures and European shares are edging higher in early trading ahead of earnings from US banks. This is due in part to European speculation that the ECB will extend its QE .through September 2018. China is helping lead global growth with higher than expected imports and demand in crude, with imports at their second highest level ever. Asian stocks closed mostly higher after the Nikkei continued its rally reaching its highest level in nearly 21 years.
