A tepid and cautious start to proceedings in Europe
- Eurostoxx opens flat
- UK FTSE +0.1%
- Germany's DAX opens flat
- France's CAC 40 +0.1%
- Spain's IBEX opens flat
- Italy's FTSE MIB opens flat
A slow opening, but that seems to be the theme for the day so far in markets everywhere so far today. Geopolitical risks continues to keep markets on edge, and that's likely to carry on until US trading.
Meanwhile, China's Shanghai Composite and CSI 300 indices close the day down by 0.9% and 1.0% respectively - closing the day near the lows.
