European stocks closed weak on Friday amid cautious moves by investors due to uncertainty about U.S. and Iran securing a lasting peace truce in the Middle East following the abrupt cancellation of talks between the two nations in Switzerland.
The cancellation happened following exchange of fresh hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
The pan European Stoxx 600 fell 0.24%. The UK’s FTSE 100 ended down 0.35%, Germany’s DAX drifted down 0.16% and France’s CAC 40 lost 0.55%. Switzerland’s SMI edged up 0.06%.
