Benchmark indexes in the eurozone fell between 1% and 2% as investors worried about the rising trade tensions with the U.S. and Europe and uncertainty about NATO financing in 2025 following the U.S. elections and political instability in Germany.
The DAX index decreased by 0.1% to 19,252.48; the CAC-40 index eased by 0.1% to 7,304.66; and the FTSE 100 index rose by 0.1% to 8,075.84.
The yield on 10-year German bonds edged lower to 2.33%, French bonds inched lower to 3.06%, the UK gilts edged lower to 4.48%, and Italian bonds decreased to 3.52%.
Generali SpA increased 0.4% to €25.61 after the Italian insurance company reported better-than-expected nine-month profit, despite a €930 million charge linked to natural disasters.
Aegon Ltd. increased 2% to €6.18 after the Dutch insurance company launched a stock buyback worth €150 million.
ASML Holding NV declined 3.5% to €648.20 after the advanced chip equipment maker Applied Materials reported lower-than-expected profit in its latest quarter.
