European indices little changed to kick start final day of the week, month

• The mood is more tentative with month-end in the picture today

• Eurostoxx -0.1%
• Germany DAX flat
• France CAC 40 -0.1%
• UK FTSE -0.1%
• Spain IBEX -0.2%
• Italy FTSE MIB flat

It's been a sluggish affair for European stocks this week but on the month of August, it's been a positive one. The exception being the France's CAC 40 index after the big drag earlier in the week owing to domestic political woes. US futures are also more tepid today, with S&P 500 futures currently down 0.1% with month-end trading in focus for the day ahead.
