I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.

European indices opened with slight gains: Eurostoxx +0.2%, Germany DAX +0.2%, France CAC 40 +0.1%, UK FTSE +0.8%, Spain IBEX +0.4%, Italy FTSE MIB +0.4%. US futures are slightly higher, with S&P 500 futures up 0.1%. Investors are cautious ahead of the US CPI report and central bank decisions. UK shares are boosted by a softer CPI report, hinting at a BOE rate cut next year.
