European Stocks Set for Higher Opening
European equity markets were poised to open higher on Tuesday, extending the previous session’s gains as global technology shares rebounded from last week’s AI-driven selloff. Oil prices also moved lower after President Donald Trump expressed optimism that the conflict in Iran could be approaching an end following discussions with Qatar’s prime minister, easing concerns over inflationary pressures. Meanwhile, investors remained focused on upcoming US inflation data, which could influence expectations for the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy direction. In Europe, market participants will assess French unemployment figures and Spanish consumer confidence data, alongside earnings releases from Infineon, Vodafone, Alcon AG, Henkel and Recordati, among other companies. In premarket trading, Euro Stoxx 50 futures gained 0.8%, while Stoxx 600 futures advanced 0.9%.
