The last trading session on European markets this week brings declines in most indices. Germany's DAX loses 0.04%, France's CAC40 is down 0.48%, and the Euro Stoxx 50 benchmark loses 0.73%. Risk demand is weakening in the face of a stronger dollar. The macro calendar for today's session is relatively limited, but some volatility may be provided by incoming comments from central bankers.
