European markets have opened mostly in positive territory today. Traders look forward to manufacturing data across Europe and the US, especially after reports indicated that China’s manufacturing activity contracted in January.

Closer home, economic data due later today is expected to show that the UK manufacturing sector expanded at a faster pace in January. Meanwhile, market participants will also track US personal income and spending data along with Greece’s attempts to negotiate a new debt agreement with its European partners.
