US stock futures and European shares edge higher in a lacklustre session marked by thin trading volumes thanks to the American holiday. FMTNews US stock

The Charging Bull statue, also known as the Wall St. Bull, is seen in the financial district of New York City, US.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index finished modestly higher, with real estate firms and banks lifting the gauge. Contracts on the S&P 500 Index also nudged up after Asia’s benchmark finished higher overall thanks to gains in Japan and South Korea. Trading volumes were well below average across the board, with US markets shut for the July 4 holiday and investors counting down to Friday’s American jobs report.

Thursday’s holiday in the US is giving many investors a breather after a hectic few weeks in which bonds surged and stocks hit records as they tracked every twist in the trade war, tried to second guess central bankers and analyzed every data point.
