South East European stock markets finished in a mixed fashion on Thursday, as rest of Europe closed higher despite discouraging data. The European Commission revealed that consumer confidence in the eurozone fell in July. Meanwhile, Germany’s Federal Statistical Office reported that annual inflation in eurozone’s largest economy eased in the same month, but still went slightly above analysts’ expectations. In response to soaring inflation, the European Central Bank announced its first interest rate hike in 11 years last week, increasing key rates by 50 basis points.
