French stocks slide amid protests
European stocks declined on Monday morning, led by the French market, which was affected by a wave of protests and violent clashes resulting from rising prices and deteriorating public services. This caused the French "CAC 40" index to drop by 1.02%. The "Stoxx 600" index also fell by 0.39%, with banking sectors decreasing by 1.4%, as investors awaited the results of major companies to boost confidence after a period of decline. The protests in France focused on sluggish growth and rising debt levels, while Norwegian salmon company "Mowi" recorded a record production increase of 4.1% in the third quarter.
