LONDON – European stock markets opened on a mixed note today, with London down but Frankfurt and Paris edging higher.
In initial trade, London’s benchmark FTSE 100 shares index fell 0.2% to 6,519.14 points compared with yesterday's closing level, as investors digested news of Britain’s rising unemployment rate.
On the upside in the eurozone, the Paris CAC 40 index gained almost 0.1% to 5,532.91 points and Frankfurt’s DAX 30 increased by a similar proportion to stand at 13,232.91. – AFP, December 15, 2020
