European markets opened with mixed performance on Tuesday, showing divergent trends across major indices. The German DAX30 edged down 0.03% in early trading, while France’s CAC40 declined 0.11%. The pan-European Stoxx 50 index also slipped 0.06%, reflecting cautious sentiment in the eurozone.
The UK’s FTSE 100 bucked the trend, rising 0.21% as energy and mining stocks gained ground. Market participants remained cautious ahead of key economic data releases and central bank signals later this week. The uneven opening follows Monday’s rally, suggesting investors are taking profits in some sectors while maintaining positions in others.
Trading volumes appeared moderate as markets awaited fresh catalysts, with particular attention on upcoming earnings reports from major European banks and industrial firms. The mixed start reflects ongoing uncertainty about the pace of economic recovery and monetary policy direction across the continent.
