European markets: Traders assess effect of Trump assassination attempt

Category: Finance

European and Asian markets started the week lower as they assess the impact of an assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump. European stocks were down, with mining and utility sectors leading the losses. In contrast, Wall Street saw a strong start with the Dow Jones climbing to a new record high. The shooting raised Trump's odds of winning back the White House, potentially boosting U.S. stocks in the short term. China's economy grew 4.7% in the second quarter, missing expectations.
