European markets ‘weighed down’ by corporate earnings numbers

The European markets have been “weighed down” by the release of corporate earnings numbers, according to CommSec’s Tom Piotrowski. Mr Piotrowski noted the UK’s FTSE finished down “two-thirds of a per cent”. “The French market down by a third,” he told Sky News Australia. “The German market was down by a similar amount as well.” Presented by CommSec.
