European stock markets closed lower, driven by a rise in oil prices and government bond yields. Frankfurt saw a drop of 1.24%, London by 1.09%, and Paris by 0.49%.

In particular, Brent crude surpassed $92, contributing to the negative trend in the markets. The euro also weakened against the dollar, a factor that exacerbated the situation.

Tensions in the Middle East, especially between the United States and Iran, have been cited as one of the main reasons for the losses in stock markets. The geopolitical situation continues to worry investors in Europe.

As we await further developments, it is noted that the Fed's Beige Book will be published tonight, and the US market appears to be trending downward as well. A strong movement in bond yields has had a significant impact across the region.
