European shares opened lower as investors prepare for a busy week with the Federal Reserve in focus. Key economic indicators, including interest rates and inflation data, will influence market movements. The impact of U.S. market trends is felt in European markets, adding to global financial uncertainty.

The European Central Bank sets policies for the eurozone, but the Federal Reserve’s decisions have a significant global impact. Investors worldwide watch for changes in interest rates that could affect borrowing costs, currency values, and economic growth. A hawkish Fed stance may tighten financial conditions, putting pressure on European markets.
