Tuesday's trading session brings a dampening of bullish sentiment among investors, who cannot decide on a specific trading direction. Overall, however, most companies listed on European trading floors are losing today. This sentiment may be prolonged, however, as there are no top-tier macro data releases scheduled for today's session. However, headlines from individual companies are worth watching.

Weakness in the European semiconductor market today is primarily triggered by the announcement by the global giant when it comes to this sector, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM.US), which notified that this year's capital expenditure (capex) budget will be close to the lower end of the previously stated forecast. This has dampened hopes that the recent boom in demand for artificial intelligence computer chips will encourage chipmakers to increase production capacity in the near term, triggering a sell-off on European companies in the sector.
