周三，欧洲股市收盘大多走高，宽松地保持了本周前两个交易日的涨幅，因为市场继续评估美国关税对欧洲增长和企业回报的影响。欧元区STOXX 50指数上涨0.2%，至2.63点，而泛欧STOXX 600指数下跌0.1%，至541点，由于对制药行业的敞口增加，表现不佳。制药公司收盘大幅下跌，此前美国总统特朗普威胁要对该行业的进口产品征收250%的关税，正如早些时候所暗示的那样，并与他降低药品价格的言论保持一致。赛诺菲和默克的股价均超过2%，而罗氏、阿斯利康和诺华在欧元区以外的股价下跌了3.5%至1%。再加上悲观的盈利结果，制药商拜耳股价下跌近10%，诺和诺德股价暴跌5.5%，为四年来最疲软的增长。反过来，BBVA和慕尼黑再保险上涨超过1.5%，领涨金融股，而空客上涨1.5%。
European stocks closed mostly higher on Wednesday, loosely holding gains from the first two sessions of the week as markets continued to assess the impact that US tariffs will have on European growth and corporate returns. The Eurozone's STOXX 50 added 0.2% to 2,63, while the pan-European STOXX 600 eased 0.1% to 541, underperforming due to its higher exposure to the pharmaceutical sector. Pharmaceutical companies closed sharply lower after US President Trump threatened to impose a 250% tariff on imports from the sector, as signaled earlier, and aligned with his rhetoric to lower drug prices. Sanofi and Merck over 2% each on the news, while Roche, AstraZenca, and Novartis lost between 3.5% and 1% outside the Eurozone. Combined with pessimistic earnings results, drug-maker Bayer sank nearly 10% and Novo Nordisk plunged 5.5% on the weakest growth in four years. In turn, BBVA and Munich Re added over 1.5% to lead financials, while Airbus jumped 1.5%.
