(AOF) – European markets are expected to pull back at the open after yesterday’s bright red session. The euro closed below par at $0.9936.

In Paris, the decline of the CAC40 index, which closed yesterday at 6,378.74 points (-1.80%), is likely to continue, similar to the decline of the EuroStoxx 50 that closed at 3,658.22 points (-1.93%).
