Macro & policy drivers
- A landmark free-trade agreement was signed between the European Union and India, expected to vastly expand market access and slash tariffs on industrial goods — helping lift sentiment across European markets.
- German and French finance leaders proposed a new EU forum to boost competitiveness, supply chain resilience and financing for growth firms — a sign policymakers are focusing on structural reform.
- The European Banking Federation warned that current EU rules could hinder lending and put European banks at a disadvantage compared with the UK and US — adding a regulatory overhang.
- Sales of fully electric cars in the EU surpassed petrol-only vehicles for the first time, highlighting structural industry shifts that can influence related stocks.
- EUR/USD strengthened, as the euro rose amid broader risk appetite and data flows.
- GBP/USD also rallied, contributing to UK market upside.

Market Movements
European benchmarks showed resilience with the Stoxx 600 and Euro Stoxx 50 gaining ground, though the DAX lagged amid selective pressures, while the FTSE 100 and CAC 40 posted modest advances; Utilities led sector performance convincingly, followed by Financials and Industrials, as Materials trailed with notable weakness. Volatility dipped as measured by the VSTOXX, underscoring subdued risk levels. What this means: The rotation into defensives signals investor preference for stability over cyclical bets, potentially broadening market participation if momentum continues to build; with fresh Pending Medium-Term Reversal longs emerging in improving setups, mean-reversion could accelerate in laggard areas.
