Frankfurt Stock Exchange

Investing.com - European markets opened lower on Monday, as upbeat German economic data last week continued to lend broad support to the euro.

The EURO STOXX 50 slipped 0.11%, France’s CAC 40 fell 0.15%, while Germany’s DAX 30 was down 0.14% by 03:35 a.m. ET (07:35 GMT).

The signe currency was boosted after data on Friday showed that German business confidence hit a record high in November, putting the euro area’s largest economy on track for a boom.

The data came one day after official data showed exports and rising business investments were the main drivers of euro zone growth in the third quarter, indicating that the robust upswing will extend well into next year.

Financial stocks were mixed, as BNP Paribas (PA:BNPP) slipped 0.17% and Societe Generale (PA:SOGN) inched up 0.03% in France, while Commerzbank (DE:CBKG) gained 0.79% and Deutsche Bank (DE:DBKGn) lost 1% in Germany.

Among peripheral lenders, Intesa Sanpaolo (MI:ISP) slid 0.35% and Unicredit (MI:CRDI) inched 0.06% higher in Italy, while BBVA (MC:BBVA) rallied 1.97% and Banco Santander (MC:SAN) dropped 0.50% in Spain.

Internet Slowdown Protest for Net Neutrality

SEP9

Imagine all your favorite websites taking forever to load, while you get annoying notifications from your ISP suggesting you switch to one of their approved “Fast Lane” sites.

Think about what we would lose: all the weird, alternative, interesting, and enlightening stuff that makes the Internet so much cooler than mainstream Cable TV. What if the only news sites you could reliably connect to were the ones that had deals with companies like Comcast and Verizon?

On September 10th, just a few days before the FCC’s comment deadline, public interest organizations are issuing an open, international call for websites and internet users to unite for an “Internet Slowdown” to show the world what the web would be like if Team Cable gets their way and trashes net neutrality. Net neutrality is hard to explain, so our hope is that this action will help SHOW the world what’s really at stake if we lose the open Internet.
