7th March 2014
European stocks have fallen today (March 7th) as the impact of European Central Bank (ECB) president Mario Draghi's comments continue to weigh.
Yesterday saw the bank's leader announce it would not be introducing any more stimulus measures other than freezing its benchmark interest rate at 0.25 per cent.
This disappointed investors and was reflected in the performance of Europe's leading markets.
As of 10:05 GMT the FTSE 100 is down 0.30 per cent to 6,767.88. Meanwhile, the Euro Stoxx 50 has dropped 0.38 per cent to 3,132.65.
An even greater fall has occurred in the Deutsche Borse German stock index, which is down 0.76 per cent to 9,469.92.
In Asian trading, the Nikkei index is up 0.92 per cent thanks to the ECB's announcement and better-than-expected jobs data from the US.
However, the Hang Seng closed down by 0.19 per cent, with fears of a worsening of the situation in Ukraine a factor in this.
