Dow Jones03-24

0849 GMT - European equity indexes are mostly lower in volatile early trade as the recovery sparked Monday by President Trump's more conciliatory comments falters. Energy-sensitive industrial and construction stocks lag as oil prices remain elevated. The Europe-wide Stoxx 600 edges down 0.05%. The industrial-heavy German DAX falls 0.6%, as industrial and chemicals companies drop while software company SAP loses 4.8% after an analyst downgrade. The U.K'.s FTSE 100 is flat as miners and industrials weigh on the index. In Paris, the CAC 40 is flat as gains for luxuries--sector bellwether LVMH is up 0.9%--are countered by falling industrials. Blue-chip indexes in Italy and Spain fall by 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively. (josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
