India, July 29 -- European stocks were subdued on Wednesday as joint strikes in Iraq by the United States and Saudi Arabia raised concerns about a prolonged war in the Middle East. Caution ahead of big tech earnings and the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision later in the day also kept investors on edge.
The pan European Stoxx 600 slipped 0.2 percent to 645.48 after rising 0.4 percent on Tuesday.
The German DAX dipped 0.2 percent and France's CAC 40 shed 0.4 percent while the U.K.'s FTSE 100 was marginally higher, led by gains in energy stocks such as BP Plc and Shell as Brent crude prices rebounded over 3 percent to trade above $87 a barrel after a three-day slump.
