Europe's still heavy breathing after France

The upward momentum of the middle of the week proved to be insufficient to move the markets a bit higher and the main European exchanges ended the trade in red on Thursday:
The European Stoxx Europe 600 closed with a loss of 0.52% to 394.39 or a decline of 2.06 points.
The German DAX30 recorded the most swan-diving decline in the main European indices - -0.36%, closing at 12711.06. With the largest decline in stock prices, were the companies Prosiebensat 1 Media AG (-5.95%), Deutsche Post AG (-3.40%) and Heidelbergcement AG (-2.73%).
The French CAC40 halted its growth and declined by 0.32%, closing at 5383.42.
