European share markets were little changed on December 5, 2025, but ended the trading week with modest gains as global investors focused on a combination of macro data and expectations of U.S. monetary policy easing. With U.S. inflation data showing subdued price pressures and central bank expectations shifting toward rate cuts, European shares ended resiliently. Investors maintained a cautious but positive stance on equities amidst a backdrop of mixed economic signals reinforcing a tentative risk-on environment. The slight advances in major European indices reflected broader optimism in global markets as traders positioned ahead of the coming Fed decision and year-end flows.
