European equities hold steadier in the opening stages today

It has been a bit of a sluggish week overall thus far

Thursday, 27/06/2024 | 07:19 GMT

Eurostoxx +0.2%
Germany DAX +0.3%
France CAC 40 +0.2%
UK FTSE -0.1%
Spain IBEX -0.4%
Italy FTSE MIB flat

The CAC 40 index is pretty much flat on the week when accounting for the opening moves here. The DAX is seen up just 0.1% on the week when taking in the slight gains above. So, that speaks to the lack of direction on the week. As a reminder, the first round of the French elections on the weekend is going to be one to watch for the euro and regional assets.
