Europe’s benchmark index opened lower on Thursday, and was set to record its worst monthly performance in a year, while moves were mainly powered by a mixed bag of earnings.

The pan-European STOXX 600 dropped 0.6% by 0812 GMT, falling to its lowest level in nearly two months.

The index is down 2.72% on the month, poised to drop for a second straight month and to log its worst monthly performance since October 2023.

Its previous steepest monthly drop in that period was a 1.5% decline in April.

Technology stocks dropped 1.1% on the day and were the biggest drag on the benchmark.

In earnings-driven moves, TotalEnergies lost 1.7% after the French oil major’s third-quarter adjusted net income hit a three-year low. BNP Paribas tumbled 6.5% after the lender reported its third-quarter results.

Airbus rose 2.9% after the planemaker picked a successor for its jetmaking arm, while the CEO stays on.

On the data-front, Euro zone’s flash and Italy’s preliminary CPI figures are due at 1000 GMT. French preliminary inflation was at 1.5% in October, while German retail sales unexpectedly rose in September.
