NYSE closed due to Labor Day, Europe ends on a muted note amid trade jitters
NYSE was closed yesterday due to Labor Day holiday, while European stocks ended the first trading session of a brand-new month on a relatively mixed note, amid heightened concerns of an escalating trade war between the world's two largest economies. The pan-European STOXX 600 provisionally closed up 0.07 percent, with sectors pointing in opposite directions by the end of trade.
Europe's automakers were the worst performers, finishing down 1 percent as trade tensions continued to bubble away. Last week, the European Union said it would respond in kind if President Donald Trump reneged on his pledge not to impose car tariffs. Faurecia, Porsche and Volkswagen all ended down over 1.5 percent.
