(Reuters) – The main European scholarships evolve in dispersed order at the start of the session Thursday before the announcement, this afternoon, of the decision of the European Central Bank (ECB) on a potential decrease in its guiding rates.
In Paris, the CAC 40 lost 0.33% to 7,305.62 points around 07:04 GMT. In Frankfurt, the Dax advances 0.40% and in London, the FTSE 100 yields 0.63%.
The Eurostoxx 50 index is down 0.16%, the FTSEURofirst 300 from 0.30%and the Stoxx 600 of 0.25%.
Investors are cautious this Thursday in a macroeconomic context always uncertain in the face of customs obstacles. After Japan, Giorgia Meloni will be the second representative to go into negotiations with President Donald Trump about “reciprocal” customs duties.
The markets are also awaiting the decision of the ECB, which should be announced at 2:15 p.m. It is expected that the central bank lowers its guiding rates for the seventh time in one year.
The results season has also been started this week, the figures for many European groups that were published before the opening. The Dax, in particular, is shot by the 10% increase in Siemens Energy after its results.
In Paris, Hermes lost 3.4% and Pernod Ricard 1.4% after their respective results, while Forvia gained 4.6%.
Pluxee advances 7.3% after having noted its objective of margin of Ebitda for 2025.
Elsewhere in Europe, Sainsbury’s won 2.7% after reporting an increase of more than 7% of its annual profit.
