EUROPEAN SHARES MOSTLY LOWER; MARKETS AWAIT US CPI
Major European bourses nudged lower on Thursday as markets awaited U.S. inflation data for clues on the outlook for monetary policy.
Headline CPI is expected to fall to 2.3% on an annual basis, its lowest level since March 2021, paving the way for the Fed to continue to lower borrowing costs, albeit likely at a smaller clip than the 50 bp move they kicked off with.
A reading in line with expectations "would suggest that the goldilocks scenario for the US economy carries on, which is good news for both bonds and equities," says Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index .STOXX is down 0.2%. Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE is down 0.1%, while Germany's DAX .GDAXI and France's CAC 40 .FCHI are both shedding about 0.3%.
A rise in GSK GSK.L shares is helping push the healthcare sector .SXDP higher after the company agreed a $2.2 billion settlement over claims that its Zantac drug caused cancer. The settlement was at the lower end of estimates.
Italian lender BPER Banca EMII.MI tops the STOXX 600, rising to its highest level since 2015, after it hiked its payout ratio to 75%.
