CNBC’s Karen Tso outlines how European stocks are performing at the beginning of Monday’s trading session.
CNBC’s Karen Tso outlines the top performers in Europe’s stock markets as Tuesday’s trading session begins.
European stocks edged lower Monday, although volumes were thin in most markets around the world owing to today's President's Day holiday, as investors continued to key on developments in U.S.-China trade talks. Gains in the region were capped by concern that the White House may opt to impose tariffs on European-made cars now that President Donald Trump has received a report from the Commerce Department that assessed their risk to national security. Broader market sentiment, however, was linked to the progress in last week's trade talks between high-level delegations of both the U.S. and China in Beijing, which are slated to continue this week in Washington, with the aim of reaching a comprehensive pact by the March 2 deadline or, as President Trump has hinted, extend the talks for a further period of time in order to address the myriad issues that still separate the world's two biggest economies.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 was flat during mid-morning deals, with sectors and major bourses pointing in opposite directions. Market focus is largely attuned to global trade developments, with officials from the U.S. and China set to resume negotiations this week.

Trade talks delivered strong gains across the European and U.S equity markets last week. What’s on the horizon for the DAX and EUR?
Reports of progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations and hopes of a new scheme to support euro zone banks drove a strong rally in European stocks, which posted their best week since November and reclaimed three-month highs. The trade-sensitive German index jumped 1.9 percent while the STOXX 600 rallied 1.4 percent on the day and made a weekly gain of 3 percent. Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported China and the United States had reached a consensus in principle on some key issues during trade talks in Beijing.
DAX to open subdued on cues from international markets but outcome at end of the day is likely to be decided by headlines driven momentum.
Weak inflation data from China sent European stocks slipping further on Friday, with car shares and Germany's DAX the worst hit. The German index, the most sensitive to China due to its large share of exporters, fell 0.6 percent with car manufacturers BMW, Daimler, and Volkswagen (VOWG-p.DE) leading losses. Europe's STOXX 600 managed, barely, to hover flat as gains in telecoms and industrials helped offset the China strain.
Asian stocks fell on Friday, retreating from four-month highs after data out of China raised concerns over deflationary pressures building in the world's second biggest economy. The bearish impulse appeared likely to be passed on to European stocks, with spreadbetters expecting Britain's FTSE to open 0.1 percent lower, Germany's DAX 0.3 percent down and France's CAC 0.2 percent down. Data released on Friday showed China's factory-gate inflation slowed for a seventh straight month in January to its weakest pace since September 2016 amid cooling domestic demand.
