European markets are projected to open higher today, with the FTSE 100, DAX, CAC 40, and FTSE MIB all showing positive futures. This follows a mixed day Wednesday, particularly in the UK, impacted by political pressures. US stock futures are little changed, awaiting June's nonfarm payrolls data. Meanwhile, Vietnamese stocks hit a three-year high following a US-Vietnam trade agreement announcement.
