European Stock Markets Open on a Hesitant Note on Friday

In Paris, the CAC 40 rose by 0.49% to reach 7,893.14 points by 07:16 GMT. In Frankfurt, the DAX increased by 0.07%, while in London, the FTSE 100 edged up by 0.03%. The EuroStoxx 50 index gained 0.12%, but the FTSEurofirst 300 saw a decline of 0.02%, and the Stoxx 600 fell by 0.05%. The stock markets began the last trading session of the week on a relatively calm note, as investors digested the flurry of recent monetary policy decisions. Notably, the resumption of interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve has bolstered market sentiment and contributed to new records on the New York Stock Exchange.
