Now to the early trading picture in europe, were joined by Louisa Bojesen joining us live from london. Louisa, it is great to see you. Get us up to speed. What should we be watching in europe today . Good morning. Good morning. Were flattish to a little bit higher as seen behind me on this lovely markets map. The ftse hanging on to slight gains. Having bucked the trend early on. The cac on and one of the biggest stories have to do with 11 million stret files that have been leaked how basically rich people how they find tax havens. Theres a lot of controversy surrounding this particular report, whether its on the report that the law firm saying they havent done anything wrong. Theyre helping people to find the loopholes and you need to look closer at the overall taxing system, if you want to, to make sure rules change in the longer term. Thats the bigger story out there. Apart from that, one of the bigger issues were looking at with sectors has to do with the telecom sector. This particular sector off shy of 1 . Underperforming because we had a very big deal fall through. Tieup talks between orange and bouygues in france have collapsed. Telecom shares in paris and elsewhere sharply lower. Orange have been looking to buy their french rival for 10 billion euros. And groups like india they would have taken on some of bouygues assets. Theyve been suffering heavily as well. You see here on the screen, were down somewhere in the region of 14 for a number of players. Orange speaking to an analyst said theres still a lot of value to be found in this particular stock. Thats why were seeing it trading a little bit less down where the others are. Guys, back to you. Louisa, thank you for that. Deutsche bank is fall to third from fifth. Citigroup and bank of america are ahead of the german bang. Jpmorgan and Goldman Sachs kept their first and second positions with the trading and euro in particular taking ahit on Deutsche Bank members. Now, in anticipation of a potential brexit, big british firms are delaying deals. Another finding from the same survey, two Financial Officers are in favor of staying in the european union. The survey also reporting that the june 23rd referendum representing the single biggest concern for businesses. Seems like theres growing momentum behind those who say we could potentially want to leave the eu. I think the latest polls show the exit poll show gained a bit of ground. And its some of the issues that cfos currently pointing to that makes people unsure. June 23rd is the day to watch. Greece has begun its new Controversial Program to return migrants back to turkey. The first group of 130 people were sent back across the aegean sea today. Its to put a halt to the crisis thats putting increasing strains on europe. An agreement, the eu will back turkey once the claims have been processed. That will be an important story to continue to watch, not just for humanitarian reasons but very much linked as well. Focusing on grease, imf chief Christine Lagarde is denying that it would push greece closer to default. In a letter to the prime minister, la guard says debt talks should continue despite damage of reports of a leaked transcript of a meeting of imf officials. That report by wikileaks suggested that imf would threaten to leave the bailout to offer more debt relief. The migrant crisis, as you just point out, Political Uncertainty in britain and now add to that, greece back into the spotlight. But its a good point to bring up, all of those scandals not scandals, issues continuing. Right. Of course, we have u. S. Forces ending at the highest of the year late last week. Big bounceback in the second half. Europe is down sharply. Stoxx 50 over three months, down 9 . The dax is down about 4 . France is down 6 .
