EU Market View
Asia-Pac lacked firm direction as risk appetite was sapped by holiday closures for many key markets in the region and following an uninspired handover from the US. European stock markets are seen opening marginally higher Thursday, with investors looking to take their cues from the corporate sector on another busy earnings day.
