In Europe's main stock market on the 8th, concerns about the spread of the mutant virus Delta strain increased, and the stock price temporarily dropped by more than 2%.
The European stock market on the 8th was worried that the global spread of the variant virus, Delta strain, confirmed in India would delay the resumption of economic activity.
As a result, sell orders swelled to a wide range of stocks, and stock indexes in major markets such as London fell by well over 2% during trading hours.
After that, although there was a move to buy back, the closing price compared to the previous day fell by about 2% in the Paris market, about 1.7% in the German Frankfurt market, and about 1.6% in the London market.
Market officials said, "Because of concerns about the spread of Delta stocks, lower long-term interest rates in the United States than expected led to a decline in stock prices."
