European Shares Slip on Inflation Caution
Brussels, May 20 (QNA) - European shares edged lower on Wednesday, while investors remained cautious amid fears of war-driven inflation, which pressured bonds as markets closely monitored what US-Iran negotiations might yield.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 0.2 percent to 610.37 points. Other European bourses also declined, with Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 each down 0.2 percent.
Euronext rose 4.3 percent in early trading after reporting first-quarter earnings that exceeded market expectations. (QNA)
