In the UK, there are lots of earnings on the slate today, so here's a quick overview of the key stuff to watch in the bigger names: Lloyds: The lender's exposure to the motor finance probe will remain in focus, as will trends for its lending margins in the UK as it kicks off the sector's earnings season. Reckitt: The consumer goods group, fresh off selling a portfolio of homecare brands, is expected to produce stronger sales growth driven by the brands it sees as its core business.

Deutsche Bank posts quarterly profit beat
Deutsche Bank on Thursday beat expectations on the bottom line, as mixed results at main units saw an uptick in its investment unit offset a dip in corporate operations. Net profit attributable to shareholders reached 1.485 billion euros ($1.748 billion) in the second quarter, compared with a 1.2 billion forecast from Reuters. The lender's revenues over the period reached 7.804 billion euros, in line with a mean analyst forecast of 7.76 billion euros produced by LSEG. The firm's core investment banking unit reported a 3% year-on-year hike in revenue to 2.687 billion euros in the June quarter. European banks overall are facing the challenge of navigating a lower interest rate environment, with the European Central Bank most recently bringing its key interest rate down to 2% in June and expected to hold that monetary policy during its meeting later in the Thursday session. A recent German and broader European defense spending push has been supporting gains within the industry and offering new investment opportunities for European lenders. Speaking to CNBC's Annette Weisbach in late June, Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing said that "we have clearly, in particular on the European side, been underinvesting" and stressed the lender has sized up both its portfolio appetite and resourcing to advise clients on defense ventures. Domestically, the tumult that gripped German politics at the end of last year has quietened after snap elections awarded stewardship to a new ruling coalition under Chancellor Friedrich Merz. But the European Union's largest economy — and the third largest exporter globally — is now mired in trade uncertainty as the 27-nation bloc races to agree a tariff deal with U.S. President Donald Trump by an Aug. 1 deadline. "If tariffs materialise in August, a recession in Germany in 2025 cannot be ruled out," Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel said last week, according to Reuters.

Trump's trip to Scotland highlights his complex relationship with his mother's homeland
A daughter of Scotland Trump's mother was born Mary Anne MacLeod in 1912 near the town of Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, one of the Outer Hebrides off Scotland's northwest coast. 'My mother was born in Scotland — Stornoway, which is serious Scotland,' Trump said in 2017. Advertisement She was raised in a large Scots Gaelic-speaking family and left for New York in 1930, one of thousands of people from the islands to emigrate in the hardscrabble years after World War I. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up MacLeod married the president's father, Fred C. Trump, the son of German immigrants, in New York in 1936. She died in August 2000 at the age of 88. Trump still has relatives on Lewis, and visited in 2008, spending a few minutes in the plain gray house where his mother grew up. A long golf course battle Trump's ties and troubles in Scotland are intertwined with golf. He first proposed building a course on a wild and beautiful stretch of the North Sea coast north of Aberdeen in 2006. The Trump International Scotland development was backed by the Scottish government. But it was fiercely opposed by some local residents and conservationists, who said the stretch of coastal sand dunes was home to some of the country's rarest wildlife, including skylarks, kittiwakes, badgers and otters. Advertisement Local fisherman Michael Forbes became an international cause célèbre after he refused the Trump Organization's offer of 350,000 pounds ($690,000 at the time) to sell his family's rundown farm in the center of the estate. Forbes still lives on his property, which Trump once called 'a slum and a pigsty.' 'If it weren't for my mother, would I have walked away from this site? I think probably I would have, yes,' Trump said in 2008 amid the planning battle over the course. 'Possibly, had my mother not been born in Scotland, I probably wouldn't have started it.' The golf course was eventually approved and opened in 2012. Some of the grander aspects of the planned development, including 500 houses and a 450-room hotel, have not been realized, and the course has never made a profit. A second 18-hole course at the resort is scheduled to open this summer. It's named the MacLeod Course in honor of Trump's mother. There has been less controversy about Trump's other Scottish golf site, the long-established Turnberry resort in southwest Scotland, which he bought in 2014. He has pushed for the British Open to be held at the course for the first time since 2009. Turnberry is one of 10 courses on the rotation to host the Open. But organizers say there are logistical issues about 'road, rail and accommodation infrastructure' that must be resolved before it can return. Protests and politicians Trump has had a rollercoaster relationship with Scottish and U.K. politicians. Advertisement More than a decade ago, the Scottish government enlisted Trump as an unpaid business adviser with the GlobalScot network, a group of business leaders, entrepreneurs and executives with a connection to Scotland. It dumped him in 2015 after he called for Muslims to be banned from the U.S. The remarks also prompted Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen to revoke an honorary doctorate in business administration it had awarded Trump in 2010. This week Trump will meet left-leaning Scottish First Minister John Swinney, an erstwhile Trump critic who endorsed Kamala Harris before last year's election — a move branded an 'insult' by a spokesperson for Trump's Scottish businesses. Swinney said it's 'in Scotland's interest' for him to meet the president. Some Scots disagree, and a major police operation is being mounted during the visit in anticipation of protests. The Stop Trump Scotland group has encouraged demonstrators to come to Aberdeen and 'show Trump exactly what we think of him in Scotland.' U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is also expected to travel to Scotland for talks with Trump. The British leader has forged a warm relationship with Trump, who said this month 'I really like the prime minister a lot, even though he's a liberal.' They are likely to talk trade, as Starmer seeks to nail down an exemption for U.K. steel from Trump's tariffs. There is no word on whether Trump and Starmer — not a golfer — will play a round at one of the courses.
