Spanish stocks edged lower Thursday, catching their breath after
the prior day's rally that was sparked by worries abating over
Catalonia's independence push, while Europe's main equity benchmark
struggled for direction.
What stocks are doing: Spain's IBEX 35 index fell 0.1% to
10,270.70, erasing a bit of Wednesday's 1.3% gain
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/spanish-stocks-rally-as-worries-over-catalan-independence-ease-2017-10-11).
That advance came after Catalan President Carles Puigdemont on
Tuesday suspended the independence process

for the region, though Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy
responded by suggesting that he's edging toward suspending
Catalonia's autonomy

The Spanish benchmark is up about 0.8% for the week, but down
1.1% for October.
The pan-European Stoxx Europe 600 index was less than 0.1% lower
to 390.04.
What strategists are saying: The Spanish government's response
has been "a little tougher than anticipated," said Naeem Aslam,
chief market analyst at Think Markets UK, in a note Thursday. Rajoy
may want to signal "that Madrid has the ultimate power," Aslam
added.
Other key indexes: Germany's DAX 30 index edged down 0.1% to
12,963.34, while France's CAC 40 index fell 0.2% to 5,351.66.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index inched up less than 0.1% to
7,536.92.
Economic data: A reading on the eurozone's industrial production
is expected at 10 a.m. London time, or 5 a.m. Eastern Time.
Stock movers: Shares in Just Eat PLC (JE.LN) rose 6.5% for the
Stoxx Europe 600's biggest gain after the food-delivery service
scored a regulatory OK
(https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-provisionally-clears-just-eat-hungryhouse-merger)
for its planned buyout of rival Hungryhouse.
Shares in Deutsche Lufthansa AG (LHA.XE) added 2.7% after
Bernstein analysts raised their rating for the Germany airline to
"outperform" from "market perform," saying "positive catalysts are
mounting." Encouraging developments include market consolidation in
Germany and a deal with pilots that should reduce pension risks,
the analysts wrote in a note.
