European stocks open undecided pending Sentix Confidence Index

The European stock markets have opened this Monday with an indecisive behavior, pending the Sentix Investor Confidence Index and the Industrial Production for March in Germany, in a week in which the most prominent will be the US inflation data for the month of April.

At the opening, the stock market that rises the most is that of Milan, with 0.13%, followed by that of Madrid, with 0.12%, while Paris loses 0.07%, and Frankfurt, 0.01 %.

The London square will remain closed today for the coronation acts of Carlos III, while the Euro Stoxx50, an index that includes the European companies with the largest capitalization, falls 0.07%.

The main index of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Nikkei, fell 0.71% this Monday, after investors digested the renewed fears about the US financial system after the bankruptcy of a new bank.
