European shares weighed down by miners; Munich RE shrugs off warning

Reuters - UK Focus

MILAN, Sept 14 (Reuters) - European shares inched lower in opening deals on Thursday, weighed down by weaker mining stocks, while Munich RE shrugged off a profit warning.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index was down 0.1 percent, with the basic resources sector taking most points off the index as a decline in industrial metals and disappointing data from China hit shares in heavyweight miners Rio Tinto (Hanover: CRA1.HA - news) , Glencore (Frankfurt: 8GC.F - news) and BHP Billiton (NYSE: BBL - news) .

Munich RE was up 0.1 percent. The German reinsurance company said it could miss its profit target this year due to losses from hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

Among outstanding gainers was Next (Frankfurt: 779551 - news) up 8 percent, after the British clothing retailer nudged its full-year sales and profit guidance higher.

UK's FTSE fell 0.1 percent ahead of the Bank of England policy meeting later in the day. (Reporting by Danilo Masoni, edited by Julien Ponthus)
