European stocks sag at open
LONDON, Sept 6, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Europe’s stock markets declined in
opening trade on Thursday, with London’s benchmark FTSE 100 index down 0.2
percent at 7,368.61 points.
In the eurozone, Frankfurt’s DAX 30 lost 0.3 percent to 12,002.78 points
and the Paris CAC 40 shed almost 0.1 percent to 5,255.28, compared with the
closing levels on Wednesday.
Asian equities also suffered fresh losses on Thursday, extending the
previous day’s rout as concerns about contagion from emerging markets fray
investor nerves.
Investor sentiment was also dented by the possibility of further US
tariffs on China.
