European markets fall at open amid protests
European stocks continued their decline at the opening of their trading sessions, as investor concerns about the repercussions of political unrest in France dominate the markets. This comes especially after authorities imposed curfews in several major cities such as Paris, Lille, and Nice, following riots and looting over the weekend. The Stoxx 600 index fell by 0.27% to 637.84 points, after a 0.8% decline in the previous session, while the French CAC 40 index declined by 0.2%. These developments occur amid fears that political instability could impact the economy, corporate reliability, and consumer confidence across Europe.
