European stock futures edge higher

European stock markets are expected to open marginally higher Wednesday, as investors cautiously await the release of key U.S. inflation data while the earnings season continues.

At 02:00 ET (06:00 GMT), the DAX futures contract in Germany traded 0.1% higher, CAC 40 futures in France climbed 0.1% and the FTSE 100 futures contract in the U.K. rose 0.1%.

Global sentiment received a boost when the U.S. Federal Reserve hinted last week that it could pause its aggressive monetary tightening cycle at its next meeting in June if the data allowed it to do so.

Fidelity European Trust PLC (LON:FEV) aims to be the cornerstone long-term investment of choice for those seeking European exposure across market cycles.
