On Monday, European stock indices weakened a bit, market participants focused on the Italian political situation, US-China trade relations as well as diving crude prices.
The European index Stoxx 600 headed south by about 0.17%, while sectors and large exchanges moved in opposite directions.
Shares of the crude and gas sector found themselves in red because crude prices drifted away from their multi-year maximums. Brent slumped by 0.3%, hitting $76.91, while WTI reported a 0.2% slump, being worth $70.53. The prices were previously backed by news that the United States is going to withdraw from the nuclear agreement with Iran. However, on Monday market participants didn’t hurry with purchases before the release of the monthly report on the crude market of OPEC.
At the same time, health sector equities inched up 0.6%, reviving from a recession the previous week after President Donald Trump uncovered plans to lower the prices of prescription drugs.
