News category : Macroeconomic Events

European markets ended the month stronger on November 30 as investors increased exposure to cyclical sectors and banks on expectations that US monetary policy may loosen in coming months. The STOXX 600 and several national indices posted monthly gains, helped by inflows into risk assets. Analysts noted the rally was supported by a combination of macro data, dovish remarks from some policymakers, and reduced near-term geopolitical tail risk pricing after reports of exploratory diplomatic contacts. Market participants emphasised that continued gains depend on confirming economic releases and clarity from central banks in the weeks ahead.
