European markets will start falling this week

The European stock market began falling on Monday as investors continued to assess global economic and interest rate forecasts.

Also, since Hezbollah began a missile attack on Israel over the weekend to clear the grudge of the commander who was assassinated in Beirut last month, the market closely watched geopolitical trends in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, investors will evaluate Germany's August Ifo business survey and Spain's July producer inflation report.

There will be no major financial results announcements in Europe on Monday.

Futures for Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 fell around 0.2 percent in pre-market trading.
