(AOF) – European markets are expected to open timidly higher on Monday, amid the return of the covid-19 epidemic. While Austria last week decided on new containment, the explosion of cases of contamination in Europe worries investors, who fear that new restrictive measures will be taken, inciting risk aversion. The scarce economic statistics and quarterly results will offer little support to the markets today. The middle of the week will be more full of indicators, just before the Thanksgiving celebrations.
