TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
A 2nd consecutive day in the green wasn’t enough to reverse losses from earlier in the week, however. The CAC40 ended the week down by 0.88%, with the DAX30 and EuroStoxx600 falling by 0.70% and 0.71% respectively.
Gains at the end of the week came in spite of impeachment talk in the U.S and political chaos in the UK.
Support came from hopes of progress in U.S – China trade talks that are set to resume in Washington on 10th October.
Even disappointing economic data failed to pull the majors into the red on the day.
