European Shares Likely To Open On Firm Note

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

36% : Gold jumped more than 1 percent toward $4,200 per ounce while crude oil extended overnight losses to hover near a five-month low.
19% : Treasury yields were down, and the dollar held losses as the U.S. government shutdown entered its third week and President Trump renewed his tariff threats against BRICS, alleging the bloc is "against the dollar" and claiming nations are withdrawing.
11% : The S&P 500 eased 0.2 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gave up 0.8 percent after President Trump accused China of an "economically hostile act" by purposefully not buying U.S. soybeans and threatened to terminate business with China having to do with cooking oil and other elements of trade as retribution.
