- European stock market sentiment is weakening after an euphoric opening. Futures on the DAX (DE40) are down 3%, while the cash DAX is up 5.7%.
- Infineon, Adidas, Wacker Chemie, and Duerr are among the strongest performers on the German stock market.
- It remains uncertain whether Europe will suspend or modify the 25% tariffs on the United States, which were scheduled to take effect on April 15.
- Marshall Wace has reduced its short position in E.ON to 0.5%; the stock is gaining over 2%.
- Infineon will acquire Marvell’s automotive semiconductor business; the acquisition will not change the company’s risk profile and is expected to boost revenue by 2% year-on-year in 2026, according to S&P Global.
Sentiment on the European stock market is positive today, supported by the prospect of a 90-day suspension of U.S. trade tariffs. Yesterday, the U.S. Nasdaq posted its biggest one-day gain in 23 years, soaring over 12% in a single session. This move has fueled risk appetite and raised hopes for a return of a global equity bull market. However, today we are seeing some profit-taking and a slight cooling of the euphoric rally. Euphoric rebounds are also observed in the fashion and aerospace-defense sectors, where shares of Rheinmetall, Safran, LVMH, and Hermès are rising. Key data for market sentiment, also in Europe, will be released from the U.S. at 1:30 PM GMT — CPI figures and initial jobless claims.
