European Stocks Poised to Open Higher
European equity markets were set to open in positive territory on Wednesday as robust earnings from major US technology companies eased concerns surrounding AI-related investments and lifted global investor sentiment. AI stocks had faced significant selling pressure in recent sessions amid growing doubts about the sustainability of heavy spending in the sector. Meanwhile, oil prices resumed their upward trend after a diplomat disputed reports that a deal to end the US-Iran conflict was imminent, keeping inflation risks in focus. In Europe, investors will turn their attention to UK inflation data for September, alongside earnings reports from SAP, Iberdrola, and Enagas. In premarket trading, Euro Stoxx 50 futures rose 0.2%, while Stoxx 600 futures gained 0.1%.
