<p>European stock markets are expected to take a pause this Tuesday, after a week of consecutive gains. Stock investors are eagerly awaiting the release of the minutes from the last meeting scheduled for Wednesday.</p> 
<h2 id="h-a-consolidation-expected-for-the-european-stock-market">A consolidation expected for the European stock market</h2> 
<p>According to the first indications from the stock exchange, <strong>European indices should fall slightly</strong> this Tuesday.</p>

<ul> 
 <li>The CAC 40 index in Paris is expected to lose 0.32% at the opening</li> 
 <li>The Dax index in Frankfurt could fall by 0.25%.</li> 
 <li>The FTSE 100 in London should drop by 0.54%.</li> 
 <li>The EuroStoxx 50 index is expected to decline by 0.28%.</li> 
</ul> 
<p>This consolidation on the stock exchange is expected after the recent market gains stimulated by <strong>expectations of interest rate cuts by the Fed</strong>.</p> 
<h2 id="h-stock-market-cautious-signals-from-the-fed">Stock market: cautious signals from the Fed</h2> 
<p>However, several members of the FOMC emphasized on Monday that the persistence of inflation should prompt the central bank to be cautious. The Fed meeting minutes, published on Wednesday at 6:00 PM GMT, should provide <strong>new clues about the depth of the debates</strong> within the U.S. central bank. These can impact the stock market in general.</p>
