European stock markets edged higher Monday, but gains are limited as investors assessed the potential for further monetary policy tightening ahead of key U.S. inflation data and fresh quarterly Eurozone economic forecasts.
At 03:40 ET (08:40 GMT), the DAX index in Germany traded 0.2% higher, the CAC 40 in France climbed 0.4% and the FTSE 100 in the U.K. rose 0.2%.
Investors have started the new week in a cautious manner as they await the release of highly significant U.S. consumer inflation data on Tuesday.
Fidelity European Trust PLC (LON:FEV) aims to be the cornerstone long-term investment of choice for those seeking European exposure across market cycles.
