Closing changes for the main European bourses:

  • UK FTSE -0.4%
  • German DAX -0.2%
  • French CAC +0.3%
  • Italy MIB +0.6%
  • Spain IBEX +0.6%

Slight pullback in German shares after a record high on Friday. There's nothing a 21st century stock market likes more than cheap money and a falling currency, especially if you're in the business of exporting.
