European stock markets open cautiously ahead of Fed decision
European stock markets started the day without a clear direction on Tuesday, as investors awaited the outcome of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s two-day monetary policy meeting. Market participants widely expect the Fed to announce its first interest rate cut since December 2024, a move anticipated on Wednesday.
In early trading, Paris slipped by 0.17%, London dropped 0.11%, and Frankfurt fell 0.16%. Analysts note that the cautious mood reflects uncertainty about the pace of future rate adjustments and their potential impact on global economic growth.
The meeting of the Federal Reserve comes at a time when inflation shows signs of easing, but concerns remain about maintaining financial stability and avoiding a slowdown in economic activity. European markets are closely monitoring the Fed’s decisions, as U.S. monetary policy often sets the tone for global financial dynamics.
