European stocks dipped from seven-year highs Wednesday and U.S. equity markets opened with small losses, after U.S. Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen on Tuesday laid the groundwork for interest rate rises later this year.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index was 0.3% lower in early afternoon trading, having climbed to its highest close since late 2007 on Tuesday after an agreement on a four-month extension to Greece's bailout.
U.S. stocks had posted a modest rise Tuesday to close at fresh record highs after Ms. Yellen said future interest rate rises will be clearly flagged, and noted the recent improvement in the U.S. economy. Ultralow interest rates in the world's largest economy have been a key support to stock markets around the world in recent years. At 1445 GMT, the S&P 500 was 0.2% lower and Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.1%.
In Europe, Germany's DAX index was down 0.2%, while the U.K.'s FTSE 100 slipped 0.6% having climbed to an all-time high on Tuesday for the first time in more than 15 years. A 9% fall for oil, gas and minerals equipment engineer Weir Group did little to help the U.K. blue-chip index, following the company's downbeat outlook for 2015 oil & gas demand. The oil and gas sector has the largest weighting on the FTSE 100, according to FTSE Group data.
Greece's main stock market, which soared almost 10% on Tuesday, was 1.7% lower. Greek government bonds were steady after hefty gains. Greek bank stocks were however in the doldrums with Piraeus Bank down 13%, National Bank of Greece 10% lower, Eurobank Ergasias down 8.1% and Alpha Bank down 4.4%. European economist Fabio Balboni at HSBC warned that the situation for Greek banks "remains challenging", although he said if Tuesday's deal stops outflows from bank deposits, "It should also reduce the likelihood that capital controls have to be imposed to avoid a collapse of the banking system."
In currency markets the dollar, which had weakened following Ms. Yellen's testimony to Congress, had recovered a little. The euro was flat against the dollar at $1.1347 while sterling climbed 0.1% to $1.5495.
"Markets appear to have been positioned for a more definitive signal" that the Fed will alter its language on the timing of rate hikes in its March statement to remove the word 'patient', said currency strategists at BNP Paribas.
In commodities markets, Brent crude oil was 0.7% higher at $59.07 a barrel, while gold rose 0.7% to $1,205.30 an ounce.
Later Wednesday, Fed Chair woman Yellen will undergo the second day of her testimony, this time in front of a House of Representatives' financial services committee. U.S. new home sales for January are also on today's economic agenda.
