STOXX 600 muted ahead of inflation data, eyes first monthly gain in three

2024.11.29 03:52

(Reuters) – Europe’s opened on a muted note on the final day of a turbulent week, with investors assessing France’s political uncertainty and awaiting euro zone inflation data to see if a bigger European Central Bank rate cut is on the cards for December.

The pan-European main stock index was flat at 0815 GMT, bracing for its fifth weekly decline in six.

The index was still on track for a modest monthly gain in three, even though the possibility of Europe being a U.S. tariff target and France’s political woes have dampened investor sentiment towards the bloc, among other factors.

40 was largely flat on the day and down 1% for the week. Prime Minister Michel Barnier dropped plans to raise electricity taxes in his 2025 budget, bowing to far-right pressure.

French lenders weighed on the overall banks index, while basic resources led sectoral gainers, boosted by a 3% rise in miner Anglo American (JO:) after a Jefferies rating upgrade.

Meanwhile, French inflation for November edged up from October, in line with expectations, while German retail sales fell more than expected in October.

Lower-than-expected euro zone inflation data during the day could prompt bets of a 50-basis-point European Central Bank rate cut in December.
