Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was virtually unchanged on a daily basis at 29,090 and the Nasdaq Composite was losing 1.4% at 11,885.

Macroeconomic data releases from the US don't seem to be having a significant impact on market sentiment.

On the other hand, the defensive sectors, Utilities, Real Estate and Consumer Staples, are up between 0.7% and 0.3% in the early trade.
