PARIS (Reuters) – European markets opened in disorganized order on Thursday after a deluge of results and in the absence of new macroeconomic data.
In Paris, the CAC 40 is stable at 7,611.98 points around 08:26 GMT. In Frankfurt, the Dax is stagnating, compared to an increase of 0.13% for the FTSE in London.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index gains 0.13%, the EuroStoxx 50 0.11% and the Stoxx 600 seeks direction.
New York index futures suggest a sluggish Wall Street opening, with the Dow Jones, Standard & Poor’s 500 and Nasdaq showing no marked direction.
The markets are reacting to the numerous results published on Thursday, in the absence of new macroeconomic data which could support the wait-and-see attitude of central banks, or push the markets to anticipate more rapid monetary easing.
In France, Vinci, Crédit Agricole, Société Générale, Publicis, Unibail and Kering react after their latest figures.
Elsewhere in Europe, Siemens and Maersk are sanctioned after results that were worse than expected.
In terms of values, Unibail climbed 5.38%, at the top of the CAC 40. Crédit Agricole fell 4.36%, at the bottom of the French index.
Maersk fell by 10.49% and dragged Hapag Lloyd into its decline, the German group falling by 8.18%.
