January 08, 2020: Europe's main stock markets slid at the open on Wednesday after Iran launched missile attacks on US targets in Iraq following the killing of its top general.

In the eurozone, Frankfurt's DAX 30 index shed 0.8 percent 13,124.76 points and the Paris CAC 40 reversed 0.5 percent to 5,981.99.
