Beijing News.Net
Monday 5th March, 2007
Stocks in Europe fell across the board Tuesday in a dismal start to the week.
Investors were concerned at continuing falls in Asian equity markets, and a rapid rise in the yen which has rattled foreign exchange markets.
At the close of trading London's FTSE 100 was down 57.50 or 0.94% at 6,058.70.
The German DAX at 6,534.57 was off 68.75 or 1.04%, while the Paris-based CAC 40 finished down 39.67 or 0.73%.
The Swiss SMI at 8,676.86 was down or 21.85 -1.38%.
The biggest fall in Europe was in Norway where the OSE All Share dropped 11.955 or 2.40% to 485.461.
