European Stocks Set for Negative Open
European equity markets were poised to open lower on Tuesday as a global selloff in technology stocks dampened investor sentiment. The decline reflected growing concerns over the AI trade, with investors reassessing capital spending outlooks amid rising borrowing costs. Meanwhile, falling oil prices and bond yields offered some relief to equity markets. In Europe, investors will focus on German inflation and current account data. On the corporate front, sales at LVMH’s largest division declined sharply as deteriorating economic conditions and consumer backlash in China weighed on its flagship Louis Vuitton brand. Italian lender Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena also reaffirmed its ambition to build a larger banking group, while viewing Intesa Sanpaolo SpA’s revised takeover offer as financially inadequate. In premarket trading, Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 futures fell 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively.
