Financial Market Preview - Thursday 17-Oct

US futures are pointing to a higher open today. European equity markets have opened with modest gains, following mixed Asian markets. Focus in Europe is on today's ECB decision, which is widely expected toa cut rates by 25 bps. Focus in Asia is China housing ministry's introduction of a 'white list' of property projects eligible for financing support, although markets were disappointed at the lack of a figure allocated to local governments to acquire unfinished homes.Companies Mentioned: Expedia Group, Uber, Intel, Universal Stainless & Alloy Products
