European Stocks Turn in Lacklustre Performance

By Investors Hub

European stocks are turning in a lackluster performance on the day, with traders not showing much interest in picking up stocks due to an absence of fresh triggers.

Thanks to rising commodity prices, miners and energy stocks are doing fairly well, but the overall mood in the market is rather subdued.

The German DAX Index is down by 0.1 percent, while the French CAC 40 Index is down by 0.2 percent.

Meanwhile, the U.K. market is slightly higher, with resources stocks lifting the benchmark FTSE 100 Index up by 0.1 percent. The index reached a record intraday high earlier in the session.
