欧洲股市周四开盘走高,此前市场表现平平,投资者在等待新一轮企业盈利的同时继续关注经济和贸易发展。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普否认了他计划更换美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔的报道后,市场情绪有所改善。中国还重申,在本月晚些时候举行的中欧领导人峰会之前,中国将努力实现与欧盟关系正常化。然而,在美国早些时候宣布从8月1日起对欧盟进口商品征收30%的关税后,不确定性依然存在。在企业方面,预计ABB、诺华、Investor AB、沃尔沃、亚萨合莱、苏格兰和南方能源公司、瑞典银行、台积电、阳狮和易捷航空的收益。与此同时,投资者还将关注英国最新的就业数据。盘前交易中,欧洲斯托克50指数和斯托克600指数期货均上涨0.8%。
European equity markets were set to open higher on Thursday after a muted session, as investors continued to monitor economic and trade developments while awaiting a fresh batch of corporate earnings. Market sentiment improved after US President Donald Trump denied reports that he planned to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. China also reaffirmed its efforts to normalize ties with the European Union ahead of a China-EU leaders’ summit later this month. However, uncertainty lingered following the earlier US announcement of a 30% tariff on EU imports starting August 1. On the corporate front, earnings are expected from ABB, Novartis, Investor AB, Volvo, Assa Abloy, SSE, Swedbank, TSMC, Publicis, and EasyJet. Meanwhile, investors will also keep an eye on the latest UK employment data. In premarket trade, Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 futures were both up 0.8%.
