European stock markets are poised for a subdued opening on Monday, with futures indicating minimal movement as investors concentrate on the forthcoming US-China trade discussions in London. These negotiations are viewed as pivotal in the ongoing efforts to ease trade tensions between the world's two largest economies. Investor caution is also heightened ahead of significant US inflation data expected later this week, which could influence global interest rate outlooks. Within Europe, the economic calendar is notably light, with no major data or earnings announcements slated for the day. In premarket activity, futures for the Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 are nearly unchanged, suggesting a quiet trading session ahead.
