European Stock Markets Fall at Opening Amid Global Economic Concerns

Europe’s major stock markets opened lower on Tuesday, following a strong start to the week, as investors closely monitored global economic data.

London’s FTSE 100 index dropped by 0.7% to 8,211.99 points after the release of mixed employment figures from the UK.

In the eurozone, the Paris CAC 40 index fell by 0.1% to 7,421.59 points, while Frankfurt’s DAX also dipped by 0.1% to 18,426.76 points. Traders are now turning their attention to upcoming U.S. inflation data and a European Central Bank (ECB) meeting scheduled for later this week.
