Europe turns to losses ahead of US data
Major stock markets in Europe sank deeper into the red territory on Thursday despite growth in the service sector observed in Germany, the Eurozone, and the United Kingdom. Traders now turn their attention to several economic updates coming from the United States, most notably the Automatic Data Processing’s (ADP) National Employment Report.
Meanwhile, it was reported Amazon.com Inc. is expected to become the largest retailer in Britain by 2025, surpassing the incumbent leaders, the country’s own Tesco PLC and J Sainsbury PLC.
