EUROPE'S INSURERS WEAK AS ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON KICKS OFF
The insurance sector is the biggest drag on European markets on Tuesday as an early start to hurricane season adds to concerns about higher rates for the sector.
Hurricane Beryl strengthened into a category 5 storm as it moved across the eastern Caribbean, bringing an unusually fierce and early start to this year's Atlantic hurricane season.
The storm struck the Caribbean region on Monday as the earliest Category 4 storm on record.
"Beryl is now a potentially catastrophic Category 5 hurricane," the NHC said in a statement.
That has weighed on the STOXX Europe 600 Insurance Index .SXIP on Tuesday, a trader in London said.
Worst performers are Britain's Beazley, Swiss Re, Hannover Re and Munich Re, all down between 4.4%-5.2%.
Higher interest rates were also weighing on the sector, the trader said, with yields jumping on Monday across the globe.
Germany's 10-year bond yield DE10YT=RR last stood at 2.6% after rising 12 basis points on Monday, as a flight to safety before France's election partially reversed following the first round of voting.
