European Stocks Mixed as Greek Post-Shutdown Sell-Off Continues

European stocks were mixed on Tuesday as the Greek equities sell-off entered a second day following a five-week closure and amid another corporate earnings blast. Credit Agricole slumped as France’s second-largest bank announced a management reshuffle and said that talks with U.S. authorities investigating possible sanctions violations are at a 'very advanced' stage, with a settlement likely by this fall. French insurer Axa rose after posting a better than expected first-half profit. German car-parts maker Continental also rose after raising its full-year earnings forecast, while carmaker BMW retreated after posting a 3% drop in second-quarter profit.
