In Europe, Deutsche Bank shares climbed 3.9% after its U.S. subsidiary passed the Federal Reserve’s stress test.

Meanwhile, the U.K.’s Merlin Entertainment , the world’s second largest operator of visitor attractions, was up 14% after it said it was being bought by a consortium involving Lego and Blackstone Group.

In the U.S., retailer Nordstrom was down 2.6% in premarket trade and informational technology services group Accenture lost 2.7% after it announced a fall in bookings. BlackRock shares jumped 6.5%.

European Indexes opened little changed with the Stoxx Europe 600 flat, while government bond yields edged up slightly. German 10-year bund yields were at minus 0.313%. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields edged up to 2.026% from 2.007% Thursday.
