Autos drag European markets lower amid worries over US-China trade truce; Faurecia falls 5%

The pan-European Stoxx 600 was down around 0.4 percent during mid-morning deals, with most sectors and major bourses in negative territory. Market focus is largely attuned to global trade developments, after news of a temporary trade truce between the U.S. and China had sparked a global rally in equity markets in the previous session. Meanwhile, oil prices continued to rise after surging more than 4 percent at the start of the trading week.
