Good morning from London, welcome to CNBC’s live blog covering all the action in European financial markets as well as the latest regional and global business news, data and earnings.

Futures data from IG suggests London’s FTSE will open 11 points higher at 8,838, Germany’s DAX up 62 points at 24,234, France’s CAC 40 up 23 points at 7,807 and Italy’s FTSE MIB 83 points higher at 40,545.

Global markets have been buoyed by trade talks that are taking place between U.S. and Chinese officials in London this week, with hopes rising that both sides can avert large-scale punitive tariffs and a trade war.

Global markets will be keeping an eye on the talks, which are set to continue Tuesday.
