European stock markets experienced a general downturn, even as tech stocks rallied on the back of impressive earnings from artificial intelligence chip leader Nvidia. Investors are now keenly awaiting a significant speech from the U.S. Federal Reserve chairman, seeking clarity on the future direction of the world's largest economy.

In London, the FTSE 100 index closed down 85.58 points, or 0.79%, at 10,792.54. This decline reflects a broader cautious sentiment among investors in the UK market.

Conversely, the German DAX index saw a modest gain, rising 81.28 points, or 0.31%, to settle at 26,367.24. This performance suggests a degree of resilience in the German market despite the overall European trend.

In contrast, the French CAC 40 index suffered a substantial loss, plummeting 142.52 points, or 1.68%, to end the trading day at 8,319.87. This significant drop indicates heightened investor concern or specific pressures within the French market.
