European stocks extend losses at open
LONDON, June 13, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – European stock markets fell further at
the start of trading on Thursday, with London’s benchmark FTSE 100 index down
0.1 percent at 7,359.16 points.
Frankfurt’s DAX 30 shed 0.2 percent to 12,095.21 points and the Paris CAC
40 shed almost 0.3 percent to 5,361.60, compared with Wednesday’s close.
World stock markets pulled back Wednesday amid lingering trade war
worries, with Asia also buffeted by unease over massive civil protests in
Hong Kong.
Asian equities fell further Thursday with Hong Kong suffering a second
straight day of heavy losses as investors fret over the impact of protests in
the city and plans to introduce a controversial law allowing extradition to
China.
