European Stocks Close Lower On Thin Volumes After Cautious Session

(RTTNews) - European stocks closed lower on Monday as worries about inflation and further interest rate hikes offset positive progress in U.S. debt ceiling deal negotiations.

With the U.K. stock market and Wall Street, and several markets in Europe closed for a holiday, volumes were rather thin today.

The pan European Stoxx 600 edged down 0.12%. Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 ended lower by 0.2% and 0.21%, respectively. The Switzerland market was closed for Pentecost.

In the French market, WorldLine drifted down by about 2.5%. STMicroElectronics, Societe Generale, Essilor, Dassault Systemes, L'Oreal, Kering and Renault lost 0.6 to 1.2%.

Unibail Rodamco climbed about 1.2%. Carrefour, AXA, Bouygues and Veolia gained 0.4 to 0.8%.

In the German market, Continental ended more than 2% down. Zalando, Covestro, Puma, Adidas, Vonovia, Porsche and SAP posted moderate losses.
