European indexes finished today's session sharply higher, with DAX up more than 2.5%, the highest level since mid- February after a Russian negotiator said that the Ukraine talks have entered a practical phase and that the Zelensky-Putin meeting could take place in the future. Meanwhile Ukraine proposed adopting a neutral status but with international guarantees that it would be protected from attack. Also the Russian Deputy Defense Minister said that Russia is willing to scale military activity near Ukraine’s Kyiv and Chernihiv. However moods worsened this afternoon after US intelligence revealed that this may be a move which aims to regroup Russian forces and launched another better prepared offensive. Across sectors, autos jumped nearly 6% to lead the gains as all sectors traded in positive territory except basic resources and oil and gas, which dropped approximately 2% each.
