European markets lower with Asia’s markets a mixed bag

European markets fell at the start of the new trading week with investors nervous about the economic outlook. US markets were shut for the Juneteenth holiday on Monday. Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed overnight as investors digested China’s central bank decision to cut its one-year and five-year loan prime rate. The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had his meeting with China's President Xi Jinping yesterday, with both sides pledging to stabilise their relationship. Hannah Wise joins the podcast today with details of what to expect when she hosts Christian Gattiker and David Kohl in the mid-year markets outlook webcast, which takes place at 10.00 CEST on the 27th of June.
