Profit-taking and a lack of key data on a shortened trading session left the majors with a lack of direction on the day.

A disappointing December left the DAX30 trailing the CAC40. The DAX30 rose by just 0.1% compared with a 1.23% gain for the CAC40. The EuroStoxx600 led the way in December, however, rallying by 2.06%.
