European shares fall as energy stocks weigh; focus on US jobs data

Aug 5 (Reuters) – European shares edged lower on Friday as crude prices continued to weigh on energy stocks, with all eyes on US jobs data expected later in the day.

The pan-European index STOXX 600 was down 0.1% amid worries that the US Federal Reserve’s aggressive pace of rate hikes would slow economic growth in the world’s largest economy.

The oil and gas sector fell 1% as crude prices languished near their lowest since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, with markets juggling concerns of supply shortage and slower demand.

Company results were mixed on Friday, with Deutsche Post DPWGn.DE up 6.4% on posting double-digit growth in revenue and earnings.

London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) gained 2.6% on saying costs and savings targets for integrating its USD 27 billion acquisition of data company Refinitiv remain unchanged and it was launching a 750 million pound (USD 910.65 million) share buy-back.

German insurer Allianz (ALVG) fell 2.1% on reporting a worse-than-expected 23% fall in second-quarter net profit.

“It is quite understandable that investors, especially institutional, are rethinking their portfolios and fundamentals are likely to drive investment decisions over the near-to-medium term,” Kunal Sawhney, chief executive officer at Kalkine Group, said.

Credit Suisse (CSGN) fell 1.1% in early trading after Fitch Ratings downgraded the bank and a local media report said it was among the lenders at big risk from Mexican finance company Credito Real’s bankruptcy.

The embattled Swiss bank’s shares are down 41% so far this year, compared with a 15.5% decline in the European banking index.
