The major European indices are closing mixed.
The UK FTSE 100 is closing up only 0.11%. Although the price high fell short of the high reached last week at 8047.06 (the high reached 8020.13), the close today was good enough for a new record high close for the index.
A look at the closing levels shows:
- German DAX, flat
- France's CAC -0.14%
- UK's FTSE 100 +0.11%
- Spain's Ibex -0.52%
- Italy's FTSE MIB -0.4%
In the European debt market, the benchmark 10 year yields erased earlier declines and are settling flat in German, Spain and Italy. The UK 10 year is down -3.4 basis points and the France 10 year is down a modest -0.4 bps on the day.
