周四,欧洲股市收盘大幅上涨,受到科技行业主要公司的强劲支持,同时投资者评估了主要央行的政策决定及其对全球利率的影响。正如预期的那样,美联储将利率下调了25个基点,并公布了今年再降息两次的中值预测,尽管对核心通胀和增长预期的上调缓和了明年进一步降息的押注。与此同时,正如预期的那样,英格兰银行保持利率不变,但放慢了量化紧缩的步伐,以缓解长期信贷的压力。科技股飙升,ASML飙升7.7%,SAP、英飞凌和诺基亚上涨5%至2%。工业巨头也领先,施耐德、赛峰集团和威科集团的涨幅在6%至2%之间。
European stocks closed sharply higher on Thursday on strong support from major companies in the tech sector, while investors assessed policy decisions from major central banks and their impact on global rates. The Federal Reserve cut its rates by 25bps, as expected, and published median projections of two more rate cuts this year, although upward revisions to expectations of higher core inflation and growth tempered bets of more cuts next year. In the meantime, the Bank of England held its rates unchanged, as expected, but slowed the pace of its quantitative tightening to tame pressure on credit of longer maturities. Tech shares surged, with ASML soaring 7.7% while SAP, Infineon, and Nokia adding between 5% and 2%. Industrial giants were also ahead, with Schneider, Safran, and Wolters Kluwer advancing between 6% and 2%.
