PARIS (Reuters) – The main European stock markets fell slightly on Monday in the first trades, in a market context still weighed down by the conflict in the Middle East and fears of its spread.
Caution also dominates ahead of a week full of economic indicators and business results, not forgetting the meeting of the European Central Bank (ECB).
In Paris, the CAC 40 lost 0.19% to 6,803.48 points around 07:45 GMT. In London, the FTSE 100 fell 0.29% and in Frankfurt, the Dax fell 0.35%.
The EuroStoxx 50 index is down 0.22%, the FTSEurofirst 300 is down 0.18% and the Stoxx 600 is down 0.31%.
In terms of values, Dassault Aviation gained 2.1%, after information from La Tribune according to which Saudi Arabia asked the group for a costed proposal for the possible acquisition of 54 Rafale.
The listing of Maisons du Monde is suspended on a decline of 0.47% after already a suspension earlier in the session when the title soared up to 12% in the first exchanges. Contacted, Euronext had not yet responded to a request for comments.
