LONDON — European stocks are expected to open in mixed territory on Thursday as regional investors await more corporate earnings, the latest growth data and a European Central Bank rate decision.

The U.K.’s FTSE index is seen opening 0.2% lower, Germany’s DAX 0.18% higher and France’s CAC 40 and Italy’s FTSE MIB are seen around the flatline this morning, according to data from IG.

It’s another busy day for earnings on Thursday with third-quarter results coming from TotalEnergies, ING Groep, Volkswagen, Crédit Agricole, Société Générale, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Shell, BBVA and Schneider Electric.

Data releases include flash euro zone third quarter GDP (due at 10am London time) and unemployment figures, as well as inflation data from Spain and Germany.

The European Central Bank is also due to announce its latest interest rate decision on Thursday, although economists have branded it a “non event” given the bank is highly likely to keep its key interest rate, the deposit facility rate, steady at 2%.

Global markets were also assessing the in-person meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Asia on Thursday.

Trump said he had reached a one-year agreement with Xi on rare earths and other critical minerals, and that Washington will cut fentanyl-related tariffs on Beijing to 10% after their meeting in South Korea.
