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 HermĆØs are rising. Key data for market sentiment, also in Europe, will be released from the U.S. at 1:30 PM GMT ā CPI figures and initial jobless claims.
