News category : Macroeconomic Events

On November 28 European bourses closed the month on a positive note, with the STOXX 600 finishing higher after a week of gains. Investors were encouraged by growing market odds of a US Federal Reserve policy cut, which supports global risk assets through lower discount rates and potential portfolio reallocation. Gains were broad based but measured, with financials and cyclicals participating amid improved sentiment. Market commentators noted that while the month end rally reflects shifting monetary expectations, the durability of the move depends on incoming US data and central bank communication in the coming weeks.
