Markets retreat across Europe
Despite this, markets were up on the week overall. Investors failed to find a catalyst at the end of the week as they continued to digest earnings’reports from companies on both sides of the Atlantic and awaited further progress from EU summit. The Iseq index fell 22.45 points to finish at 3,240.24.
Irish bank stocks were weak, mirroring the performance of European and US peers. AIB shed 0.1c to 5.5c. Bank of Ireland and Permanent TSB Group fell 0.2c and 0.1c to 9.4c and 2.4c.
