Deutsche Bank and LVMH result disappoint as Europe’s benchmark index retreats from best level The Stoxx Europe 600 fell 0. 6%. Nonetheless, declaring of the first quarterly loss in four years made its shares to reduce by 9% while LVMH’s and Remy Cointreau’s shares decrease due to sales reduction. July’s mixed returns due to the way support for the Chinese economy and the selloff in tech shares impacted the markets. This has been evidenced early in the year by ugly earnings numbers from some prominent technology based companies in the US thus creating a cautious tone. The CAC 40 index of France shrank to the lowest level reaching late January this year, thanks to LVMH’s poor show as well as political unrest. Germany’s private sector has narrowed and a slightly better picture for France and a post-election confidence boost in the UK has shifted the market even more.
