European equity close: Modest moves as France and Italy lags

Closing changes for the main indexes

• UK FTSE 100 -0.04%
• German DAX +0.08%
• French CAC -0.3%
• Spain IBEX +0.03%
• Italy MIB -0.25%

These are virtually-negligible moves. Italian stocks are stalling after the bounce at the start of the month.
