European stock markets drop at open

LONDON, Sept 20, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Europe’s stock markets dipped at the
start of trade Friday, despite gains in Asia, as investors digested an
ominous OECD warning on the global economy.

In initial deals, London’s benchmark FTSE 100 index slid 0.4 percent to
7,328.28 points compared with the closing level on Thursday.

In the eurozone, Frankfurt’s DAX 30 index lost almost 0.1 percent to stand
at 12,448.20 points and the Paris CAC 40 also shed 0.1 percent to 5,653.26 .
