LONDON - Europe's main stock markets fell on Friday, with sentiment hit by the fatal Nice truck attack, offsetting Wall Street records and positive Chinese data. Japanese stocks were meanwhile supported also by a weakening yen, which has lost almost six percent this week as traders await details of a flagged stimulus package from Tokyo. Around 1030 GMT on Friday, London's benchmark FTSE 100 index was down 0.2% compared with the close on Thursday. Thursday's attack targeted France's national holiday Bastille Day that is held each year on July 14. British no-frills airline EasyJet was among the biggest fallers with its share price losing 3% nearing midday.
