Europe: Shares notch best session since November 2022 after tariff-sparked pullback
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


EUROPEAN shares rose from 14-month lows on Tuesday, after four straight sessions of heavy selling, although investors continued to closely watch developments as countries responded to sweeping US tariffs.

The pan-European Stoxx 600 closed 2.72 per cent higher at 486.91 points after slumping over 12 per cent in the past four sessions.

World stocks broadly recovered some ground lost in the past few days even as investors worried about a possible global recession triggered by an escalating trade war.

The European Commission proposed counter-tariffs of 25 per cent on a range of US goods on Monday as the 27-member bloc grapples with tariffs on autos and metals already in place and faces a 20 per cent tariff on other products from Wednesday.

However, it watered down some initial proposals, removing for example US bourbon from its list. It has also offered a “zero-for-zero” tariff deal to Washington.

“We’ve moved from uncertainty to a little bit more certainty, and the market is trying to price that in,” said Stephen Dover, chief market strategist at Franklin Templeton, though he added that volatility is likely to remain high.

Germany’s benchmark rose 2.5 per cent after the index stopped short of confirming a bear market in the previous session.

JPMorgan said it now expects back-to-back interest rate cuts from the European Central Bank at its next four meetings.

While forecasting a 1.5 per cent hit to GDP growth by the end of 2026 due to the trade war, the brokerage sees the euro area avoiding a recession.

European equities continued to look attractive, Dover said, with less expensive valuations relative to US stocks and the prospect of German fiscal stimulus likely to boost growth.

European pharma companies warned the European Commission president that US tariffs would expedite the industry’s shift away from Europe and toward the United States.

On the day, all major European sectors gained ground.

Investors piled into defence shares, lifting an index of those stocks 5.1 per cent. The sector is among the best European performers this year.

Meanwhile, shares of lenders, which had been knocked down by slowing growth worries, rose 2.3 per cent and stocks of insurers gained 4.1 per cent.

Dutch chip equipment maker ASML and the UK’s AstraZeneca were the biggest boosts to the Stoxx 600, up 4.3 per cent and 3.2 per cent, respectively, and were among the biggest supports for the Stoxx.

In company news, German chipmaker Infineon Technologies edged up 0.8 per cent after saying it would buy Marvell Technology’s automotive ethernet business for about US$2.5 billion in cash, to expand its microcontroller segment.

Germany’s Continental rose 4.6 per cent after saying it plans to turn its ContiTech rubber and plastics division into an independent entity. REUTERS
