Apr 17

0722 GMT - European stock indexes are mixed in muted early trade as cautious investors look to position themselves ahead of a potentially volatile weekend. Software stocks extend their rally while utilities slip, with the Europe-wide Stoxx 600 trading flat. The German DAX is flat as gains for software and autos are countered by slipping industrials. In Paris, the CAC 40 rises 0.2% as luxuries make modest recoveries after selling heavily earlier in the week. Italy's FTSE MIB is 0.2% higher as banks largely gain. London's FTSE 100 edges 0.1% lower as energy utilities slip, with SSE and Centrica falling 3.2% and 3.4%, respectively. Spain's IBEX 35 is 0.2% lower, while the semiconductor-heavy Dutch AEX slips 0.2%. (josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
