European equity close: Stocks give back much of the gains late | Forexlive

• Stoxx 600 +0.2%
• German DAX flat
• France’s CAC +0.1%
• UK’s FTSE 100 -0.3%
• Spain’s IBEX +0.4%
• Italy’s FTSE MIB +0.3%

This is a been a magical run to start the year but it can’t last forever and today’s price action (despite falling yields and soft US retail sales) is worrisome.
