European stocks dropped as euro- region economic confidence declined more than forecast and Italy’s borrowing costs rose at a sale of six-month bills. U.S. index futures erased gains, while Asian shares climbed.

FTSE 100 5,722.54   +3.65 +0.06%

CAC 40 3,209.5     -23.96 -0.74%                    

DAX 6,666.58        -37.92 -0.57%        

Deutsche Bank AG slid 5 percent. Germany’s biggest bank said first-quarter profit declined 33 percent as a rebound in investment-banking earnings from the previous three months wasn’t enough to match year-earlier levels.
