European stock markets are poised for a downward open on Thursday, extending their recent negative trend after reaching record highs last week.
European Futures indicate declines across major indices, with Germany’s DAX down 0.43%, France’s CAC falling 0.42%, and the UK’s FTSE slipping 0.20%.
Investors now appear to be reassessing their positions, potentially influenced by global economic factors and profit-taking after the recent rally.
The shift underscores the volatile nature of financial markets and the delicate balance between growth expectations and risk factors.
