European stock exchanges fell within 1%

Main European stock indexes were down following the Wednesday's trading results - DAX (Germany) lost 0,8%, FTSE 100 (Great Britain) - 0,039%, CAC 40 (France) - 0,72%. The negative dynamics was a correction after an active growth during the first days of the week reaching 3%. The news that the new strain of coronavirus was not as dangerous as previously thought served as a reason for optimistic moods in this period. However, according to experts, investors have not lost vigilance - uncertainty still prevails among them, prompting them to act with more restraint. Yesterday's fall is a manifestation of this, Oanda analyst Craig Erlam expressed his opinion to the agency France Presse. Decrease in FTSE 100 was restrained by the weakening of the British currency, which occurred because of the risks associated with the current epidemiological situation. In particular, quarantine measures in the UK may be strengthened amid a rise in new diseases.
