In other news, oil prices extend yesterday's declines amid hopes for some kind of resolution to the Iran conflict. LVMH gets a lift as sales inch higher in the second quarter, with US strength helping the company to shrug off weaker demand in Europe. And Mercedes-Benz sees a boost in second quarter operating profit but warns of intense competition and subdued demand in China.
