European markets plunge more than 1% to open after Fed hints at small rate cut
Thursday, 19 December 2024 15:38 WIB | MARKET UPDATE |

European markets fell sharply at the open on Thursday, following global markets lower after the U.S. Federal Reserve hinted yesterday that a small rate cut was imminent.

The pan-European Stoxx 600 fell 1.26% shortly after the start of trading, with all sectors in negative territory.

The lower open in Europe was anticipated following a sell-off on Wall Street on Wednesday after the Fed, which cut its overnight lending rate by 25 basis points to a target range of 4.25% to 4.5%, signaled there would likely be only two rate cuts in 2025, instead of the four cuts it had previously forecast.
