(RTTNews) - The major European markets slumped on Friday as heightened Middle East tensions offset encouraging inflation data from Germany and France.

Israel launched strikes against Iran, targeting nuclear facilities and ballistic missile factories as part of efforts "to damage Iran's nuclear infrastructure, its ballistic missile factories and military capabilities."

The overnight strikes on the country killed at least three of its senior military leaders. Iran retaliated by launching more than 100 drones toward Israeli territory.

Germany's DAX stumbled 255.22 points or 1.07 percent to finish at 23,516.23, while the FTSE in London shed 34.29 points or 0.39 percent to close at 8.850.63 and the CAC 40 in France sank 80.43 points or 1.04 percent to end at 7,684.68.

In economic news, Germany's consumer prices logged a steady annual growth in May due to the continued decrease in energy prices, data from Destatis revealed. The consumer price index climbed 2.1 percent from a year ago, the same rate of growth as posted in April. The rate matched the flash estimate released on May 30.

France's consumer price inflation moderated slightly as estimated in May to the lowest level in more than four years amid a slowdown in costs for services and a continued fall in energy prices, statistical office INSEE revealed. This was the lowest inflation rate since February 2021, when prices had risen 0.6 percent.
