Global stock markets experienced a downturn on the last trading session of September. In the U.S., stock futures pointed lower, indicating a cautious start to the final session of a strong month and quarter. European markets also opened in negative territory, with the STOXX 600 down 1%, Britain's FTSE 100 down 1%, Germany's DAX down 0.7%, France's CAC 40 down 2%, and Spain's IBEX down 0.6%. Italy's FTSE MIB was down 1.73% at the provisional close. The FTSEUROFIRST 300 provisionally closed down 0.92% at 2,070.47. This decline in European shares was influenced by a profit warning from Stellantis, which caused auto stocks to plunge. In India, the Nifty 50 Index ended 1.36% lower, and the S&P BSE Sensex Index was down 1.00%.
