Carrefour, Unibail Rodamco Westfield, Orange and three other scrips are trading in the green zone.

Kering dropped 5 percent whereas Worldline erased 4.5 percent. Hermes International and STMicroElectronics declined more than 2 percent. Another 17 scrips are trading with losses of more than 1 percent.

The EUR/USD pair is at 1.0616, shedding 0.62 percent overnight whilst the Fed's hawkishness lifted the US Dollar Index 0.50 percent higher to 104.29.

The ten-year bond yield has decreased 0.37 percent to 2.408% versus the previous close of 2.417%.

The pan-European STOXX 600 is currently trading at 437.30, down 1.2 percent on an overnight basis.
