Leading European stock markets have opened on an uneven note, with the FTSE-100 index in London falling 0.11 per cent or 7.84 points from the Wednesday closing level to 6831.03 points.
Analysts said that a downgrading for world economic growth prospects by the World Bank on Wednesday, and conflict in Iraq, was weighing on sentiment.
In Frankfurt on Thursday the DAX index was showing a slight opening gain of 0.02 per cent to 9952.01 points, pulled down by Lufthansa stock on Wednesday and going below the 10,000 mark.
In Paris, the Cac-40 index was also ahead by 0.02 per cent or 0.77 points to 4555.88.
