ECB leaves policy unchanged, as expected; Bayer posts jump in
profit
European stocks dropped Thursday for the first time in seven
sessions, with Deutsche Bank AG shares falling despite a leap in
profit, and as European Central Bank President Mario Draghi offered
no major surprises as he discussed the outlook for monetary
policy.
The Stoxx Europe 600 was down 0.3% at 387.72, little changed as
Draghi held a news conference in Frankfurt. The defensive utility
sector was higher, as were the health care and tech groups, while
all others declined. The index on Wednesday
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/european-stocks-struggle-to-hold-onto-20-month-high-ahead-of-trump-tax-unveiling-2017-04-26)
rose 0.5% to end at its highest since August 2015.
The march of earnings reports continued Thursday. Deutsche Bank
(DBK.XE) (DBK.XE) shares pulled back 3% after the German lending
heavyweight's profit doubled in the first quarter, but revenue came
in roughly flat
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/deutsche-bank-profit-more-than-doubles-2017-04-27-24851353)
when adjusted for the impact of credit spreads.
European stocks were lower following the unveiling of U.S.
President Donald Trump's plan for tax cuts and changes

on Wednesday, with some analysts saying the outline lacked
detail.

ECB meeting: European stocks held to losses Thursday afternoon
while the euro was whipped around. The shared currency hit a
session high of $1.0934 after Draghi said economic recovery in the
eurozone is becoming "increasingly solid". But it was dragged down
to $1.0856 after he said there was no change to the inflation
outlook and that inflation isn't strong enough to warrant monetary
tightening.
A stronger euro can weigh on shares of exporters as it makes
their products more expensive to buy for holders of other
currencies.
The ECB made no changes to interest rates
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/ecb-leaves-rates-unchanged-reiterates-asset-purchase-plans-2017-04-27),
as expected, and said again that it could increase the size or
lengthen the duration of its asset-buying program if inflation
looks set to fall far back below its target of near but just below
2%.

Stock movers: Deutsche Lufthansa AG (LHA.XE) shares slumped 4.3%
after the airline group swung to a first-quarter operating profit
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/lufthansa-swings-to-profit-as-sales-jump-2017-04-27)
of 25 million euros ($27.3 million). The airline group earlier this
month said ticket pricing was more positive on a currency adjusted
basis.
Bayer AG (BAYN.XE) shares were up 4.7% after the German
pharmaceuticals and chemicals maker reported a 38% jump in net
profit
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/bayer-profit-up-38-on-plastics-lifts-outlook-2017-04-27)
for the first quarter and raised its outlook for the full year.
WPP PLC shares (WPP.LN) (WPP.LN) fell 1.7% after the world's
largest advertising company said revenue growth slowed in the first
quarter as clients spent less in the U.S. and emerging markets
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/wpp-revenue-growth-lags-as-us-clients-spend-less-2017-04-27).
BBVA (BBVA) (BBVA) shares were down 2% after the Spanish lender
said first-quarter net interest came in at EUR4.32 billion
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/bbva-profit-rises-beating-views-2017-04-27),
slightly below a FactSet consensus estimate of EUR4.35 billion.
Individual indexes: Germany's DAX 30 was fractionally lower at
12,472. France's CAC 40 lost 0.2% at 5,277.83.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 gave up 0.5% at 7,253.34
