European stock-index futures were little
changed after the region’s equities climbed for a fifth week. U.S.
stock-index futures were also little changed, while Asian shares fell.
Deutsche Bank AG may move after
Germany’s biggest bank sold about 60 million shares to the Qatari royal
family as it announced plans to raise 8 billion euros ($11 billion) in
its second-biggest capital increase. AstraZeneca Plc may be active after
Pfizer Inc. raised its offer to buy the U.K. drugmaker. Ryanair

annual profit drop in five years.
Futures on the Euro Stoxx 50 Index
expiring in June slipped less than 0.1 percent to 3,150 at 7:04 a.m. in
London. Contracts on the U.K.’s FTSE 100 Index gained less than 0.1
percent, while Standard & Poor’s 500 Index futures lost 0.1 percent.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 0.4 percent.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index added 0.1
percent last week as euro-area economic growth missed estimates and

five straight weeks, the longest streak since November 2013, and reached
a six-year high on May 13.

billion euros of shares at 29.20 euros each, the lender said in a
statement last night. Deutsche Bank will raise an additional 6.3 billion
