The European stock markets open the week with falls and without counting Wall Street today

The European stock markets have opened this Monday with falls of around 0.40%, in a session in which macroeconomic references are scarce and in which they will not have the opening of Wall Street, which will remain closed today to celebrate the Day of the Release.

At the opening, the stock market that fell the most was that of Milan, 0.55%, followed by Frankfurt, with 0.52%, Paris, with 0.47%, London, with 0.37% and Madrid , with 0.34%.

The Euro Stoxx50, an index that includes the European companies with the largest capitalization, also lost 0.41%.

The main index of tokyo stock exchangethe Nikkei, fell 1% this Monday due to the collection of benefits after having reached a maximum in more than three decades last week, and due to an appreciation of the yen that hurts the Japanese export muscle.

Wall Street closed last Friday with losses and the Dow Jones Industrials, its main indicator, fell 0.32%, which did not prevent the market from completing a week of gains marked by the decision of the Federal Reserve (Fed) to keep interest rates unchanged.

In the debt market, the interest on the German ten-year bond falls and stands at 2.429%, while the Spanish one also falls to 3.350%.

Oil falls more than 1% at the opening of this session, and in the case of Brent, the benchmark in Europe, after losing 1.20%, the price per barrel stands at US$ 75.69, while the benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) in the US also lost 1.21% to US$71.06 a barrel, before the official market opening.

The euro loses value against the dollar and after depreciating 0.12%, it changes to US$ 1,092.
