European markets today mixed: Stoxx 600 down 0.3%, FTSE 10,566.31 down 0.32%, DAX 24,888.90 up 0.23%, CAC 8,357.90 up 0.23%. Dow futures up 0.19% at 52,246.07. Brent at $90 on US-Iran tensions.<\/em><\/p>\n

European markets today opened the week on a cautious note, with the Stoxx Europe 600 index down 0.3 percent in early trade as Brent crude advanced to 90 dollars per barrel on a quickening series of tit-for-tat attacks between the US and Iran. Energy was the biggest outperforming sector on the continent, directly tracking the crude spike, while rate-sensitive and consumer pockets retreated.<\/p>\n

The picture within Europe is mixed rather than uniformly weak: as of 1:51 PM IST, the UK’s FTSE was down 0.32 percent at 10,566.31, while Germany’s DAX gained 0.23 percent to 24,888.90 and France’s CAC rose 0.23 percent to 8,357.90. Across the Atlantic, Dow Jones futures were up 0.19 percent at 52,246.07, suggesting Wall Street is bracing for a steady rather than fearful open.<\/p>\n
