The pan-European STOXX 600 was down 0.2% at 572.97 points by 0806 GMT. The index is trading around one-week highs.

European markets took a breather on Thursday, after rallying in the last three sessions, as investors drew comfort from some Fed officials advocating for a rate cut next month, supported by economic data pointing to weakness in the economy.
Progress on a Russia-Ukraine peace deal also contributed to the upbeat sentiment so far this week.
