We have earnings in Europe where Deutsche Bank hikes its capital outlook after posting a 3 per cent increase in net revenue for the third quarter due to a strong performance from its corporate banking division. Luxury fashion house Gucci suffers a 9 per cent drop in Q3 sales as U.S. demand weakens.
