欧洲股市周四收盘大多走高,市场继续评估美国是否会降低对欧盟关税的暗示。由于对银行的敞口较大,STOXX 50指数小幅跌破平线,收于5440点,泛欧STOXX 600指数上涨0.5%,收于553点。欧盟贸易负责人塞夫科维奇表示,与华盛顿的框架贸易协定取得了良好进展,可能在几天内达成协议。这一积极势头提振了非必需消费品行业的股价,LVMH、开云、欧莱雅和爱马仕的股价上涨了1.6%至3.5%。在欧元区以外,在美国总统特朗普威胁对铜征收50%的关税后,伦敦的矿商股价大幅上涨,这推高了贱金属的价格。力拓、嘉能可和英美资源集团各上涨4%。此外,WPP上涨2.6%,此前宣布董事会成员兼微软全球企业首席运营官Cindy Rose将成为其下一任首席执行官。
European stocks closed mostly higher on Thursday as markets continued to assess hints on whether the US will reduce its tariff rates on the EU. The STOXX 50 inched below the flatline to close at 5,440 due to its large exposure to banks, and the pan-European STOXX 600 gained 0.5% to close at 553. EU trade chief Sefcovic said that good progress had been made on a framework trade agreement with Washington, with a deal potentially achievable within days. The positive momentum lifted shares in the consumer discretionary sector, with LVMH, Kering, L'Oreal, and Hermes adding between 1.6% and 3.5%. Outside the Eurozone, miners in London rose sharply after US President Trump threatened 50% tariffs on copper, which lifted prices for base metals. Rio Tinto, Glencore, and Anglo American added 4% each. Also, WPP gained 2.6% after announcing that board member and Microsoft COO for Global Enterprise, Cindy Rose, will become its next CEO.
