AFP - Europe's main stock markets were little changed at the start of trading on Thursday, with London's benchmark FTSE 100 index down 0.07 percent to 5,992.50 points compared with the previous day's close.

Frankfurt's DAX 30 grew 0.02 percent to 6,996.56 points and in Paris the CAC 40 gained 0.08 percent to 3,893.51.

Dollar-sensitive stocks were weak as the dollar fell, particularly against the yen, as investors exited the US currency because of falling US bond yields.
