STOXX 50指数周四下跌0.8%,至5225点,为4月30日以来的最低水平,而STOXX 600指数下跌0.5%,因中东紧张局势升级拖累投资者情绪。以色列和伊朗之间的冲突加剧,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普警告称,美国可能会加入以色列对德黑兰的空袭。与此同时,欧盟领导人将于周五与伊朗举行核谈判。在货币政策方面,英格兰银行和美联储都保持利率稳定,因为它们继续应对持续的通货膨胀和全球不确定性。相比之下,挪威和瑞士的央行采取行动降低借贷成本,以支持其经济。在企业新闻方面,芬兰林业集团斯道拉恩索宣布对其瑞典森林资产进行战略审查后,其股价上涨了近15%。相反,在私募股权公司Altor减持股份后,Mandatum股价下跌了5%。
The STOXX 50 fell 0.8% to 5,225 on Thursday, its lowest level since April 30, while the broader STOXX 600 declined 0.5%, as investor sentiment was weighed down by escalating tensions in the Middle East. The conflict between Israel and Iran intensified, with US President Donald Trump warning that the US could potentially join Israeli airstrikes on Tehran. Meanwhile, EU leaders are set to hold nuclear talks with Iran on Friday. On the monetary policy front, both the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve held interest rates steady as they continue to navigate persistent inflation and global uncertainty. In contrast, central banks in Norway and Switzerland moved to cut borrowing costs in a bid to support their economies. In corporate news, shares of Stora Enso jumped nearly 15% after the Finnish forestry group announced a strategic review of its Swedish forest assets. Conversely, Mandatum shares fell 5% following a stake reduction by private equity firm Altor.
