Add to it, the dollar index rose 0.4 per cent denting sentiment further.</div>
<br>
<div>
	Against this backdrop, gains in Asian stock markets proved tough to match for most of European peers, after they hit a 1-year high in the prior session. Nasdaq Futures, which tumbled over 1.5 per cent, or 200 points, also suggested a lower start for Wall Street later in the day.</div>
<br>
<div>
	Japan&#39;s Nikkei added 1.7 per cent - but this faded out as Europe opened for business. Britain&rsquo;s FTSE 100 and the STOXX Europe 600 slipped around 0.5 per cent each, weighing on the MSCI World Index, which was down 0.1 per cent.&nbsp;</div>
<br>
<div>
