European Stocks Rise, Trade Sentiment Improves
European stocks opened higher on Monday, boosted by easing concerns about regional banks and a positive tone in US-China trade relations. The Stoxx 600 Index rose 0.6%, led by the banking sector, while consumer staples like food and personal care weakened. The market also shrugged off France's debt downgrade and focused on an upbeat earnings season.
Kering SA shares jumped 4.4% after selling its beauty division to L'Oreal. President Trump's statement that 100% tariffs on Chinese goods were unsustainable also boosted risk appetite. Investors are now looking to the Fed for an interest rate cut as an additional catalyst for a further rally in European markets. (az)
